Robert Patrick Lewis
Every book that I write, I see as a movie initially. "Love Me When I'm Gone" was of course non-fiction, but I have 20+ books outlined at the moment, and each one of those I see a short movie while running or doing yoga, and hurry home as quickly as I can to capture what I saw.
I write very methodically, so once I write the 1-page treatment of the vision I had, I decide how to break it up, how long/how many chapters, then create the table of contents to name the chapters.
I write a paragraph describing each chapter, where it goes, what happens and what characters come in, die, etc, and finally turn each paragraph into a full chapter.
