If you have an idea for a story, jot it down. Write a short paragraph about what each chapter will be: characters involved, how it moves the plot forward, any twists, etc.
I usually find if I try and picture the whole book at once it is too much to handle. There are a lot of gaps to fill in and taking it one high level summary chapter by chapter helps me start eating that whale one bit at a time rather than staring at the HUGE helping and not knowing where to begin.
