Re: Question - Beginning A Novel
1.) Close MS Word (or notebook), grab a book, watch TV, play games, go to WDC (*Pthb*), laze off -- anything that makes you forget about it for awhile. *Pthb* After I feel like writing again, I'll continue my story. *Smile*

2.) I usually use an outline while writing novels, so I guess the order is already clear enough. *Bigsmile* I *play* the scenes I like most in my head, but usually I write chronologically...

3.) Keep practicing your writing mechanics and keep writing. Forget about finding too much reference and revising, just write first THEN edit! This is usually why I never finished some of my novels -- I simply edit and research too much! *Frown*

Hope that helps. *Wink*
