first you should get the main idea of the book ( the story of which type of character, and the main events happening to him ) just an idea right, there's no need to think all the book before writtin it, cuz you would need to be over gosu or really used to writtin to be able to do it wink.gif
and then you try to imagine events of less importance which take place during the story to "fill in the blanks"
of course you can also try to write it at once ( without forethinking i mean wink.gif ) but as i tried writtin some different stuffs this way i've seen that, as you have a lot of imagination ( if you wanna write u have ohmy.gif ) the story has a bad tendancy to take any directions and most of time it sucks :/ just a bunch of uncoherent ideas sad.gif
my method ( which fits me at least ^^' ) is to write down the very beginning and the end, and then complete the middle with ideas that will fit the main story since i know where they aim as i've already written the end tongue.gif
don't get afraid tho my english sentences aren't that great i know but i don't write in english biggrin.gif

don't misunderstand me m8 i haven't said i could write a whole book in english tongue.gif ( well i kinda said it but what i didnt say is how lame and gross it would be ^^' ) what i like about writtin is findin a nice way to say things, a pleasant way to write ( as my philosophy teacher said 'your arguments are trash, but with a red ribbon ' biggrin.gif ) and in english i don't have the freedom i have in french since i dunno all the words i would need to be satisfied ^^'

the lil bit of adviece i can give is that u dont have to start writing the book from the very beginnning. likre if u know what u want to happen in the middle and end u can write those parts first. then merge everything together later.

that would be hard. well... at least it would be hard to write the middle.. besides my book is going to be an on an event in my life.. so its gonna hav to be in chronological order... things leeading up to the events- event happening- result of the event.
