There are so many questions that are unseemly from a wife, mother, mother-n-law, and grandmother of 5, the only question I really feel safe asking is this: How do you start with your characters, worlds, and how big of a lie can you build? I know that the only way I will ever be able to lie and get away with it would have to have it down on paper. Do you do 'outline' like a book report? Like in school/college?
