7. What do you do first when you start a new writing project?
1. Start a new Scrivener project.
- there will be plot ideas, I write those down.
2. Find names for the MCs and important SCs. If they don't have names, i can't write about them. Minor characters can get placeholders.
3. Get an idea about the world they're in, get maps and then do some worldbuilding.
4. Write the first chapter. I need a beginning...
5. Do research, mainly for SF or contemporary settings.
