I'm combing two story ideas, an old one and a new one that actually go very well together. I need to make an outline for the novel, and then separate outline for chapters (I liked to be well planned :/ )
Gonna make simple character profiles as well but only for certain key characters. And will have a little world building to do.
Hopefully I'm not over doing it again.
Sounds very thorough. It'll probably help a lot since the ideas are older ones meaning you've had a lot of time to mull them over. I wish I could plan, but planning bores me, and I always end up doodling.
How did you go overboard last time? I did a science fiction last time and the setting was on a different planet. So I sat there and came up with a name for the planet, then came up with four major countries based off of America/England, Russia, France, and Japan/South Korea. So I spent a month researching different things about each country and coming up with a long list of characters (important and non important) and in the end I spent so much energy making sure every thing was correct that it stopped being fun...If that makes any sense lol.
I love planning my ideas out so long as I don't go overboard. It usually helps to talk the story out with a friend and ask them for advice and input lol.
