As someone with a lot of ideas who almost never gets around to fleshing them out, I was hoping to hear some opinions from others.
What is the best way to start a story? That is to say, how should one plan a story? What should come first? The theme? The characters? The ending? The inciting incident? The lesson? The setting?
What's better to leave up until you get there? What can't be put off?
Or at the end of the day, is it just the discipline to sit down and flesh ideas into words that leads to good story planning?
How do you guys do it? For any writing, really, original or fanfiction. I'm excited to see how everyone else does it! :redface:
