before we began, let's get one thing straight, there are two kinds of writers - planners and pantsers.
planners are the ones who actually plan their stories. be it background information, characters, plot, research - they've done everything. and as you guys know, i am a serious-ass planner through and through.
pantsers, on the other hand, just go with the flow. those last minute ideas, them thinking while writing - it's their niche.
and in the end, both produce wonderful stories. but this chapter is dedicated solely to planning so...
PLAN. YOUR. STORIES. GIRL.
writing a novel is like entering into a war zone - you. have. to. be. prepared. and in this specific case, your ammunition's gonna be your research.
unplanned stories can be a mess (especially if you don't know how to do them) so in this chapter, we're gonna be rectifying the mess.

‣google and doodle
well, it was obvious.
google is your no. 1 friend. and i know, i know, google is huge. but you gotta learn to stick to your research because it's so easy to get lost in that world wide web (it really is a web!!)
when you first hit across some crazy idea, the first thing you should do is search it on google. find whatever you can about it - articles, books, reports, reviews and what not.
now you ask, ree, but my story is just a normal girl-next-door story, who's gonna write any article about this genre? guess what, my friend, some people do.
just google hard and you'll find it. and well, if you don't, REVIEWS OF THE BOOKS OF THE SAME GENRE are lifesavers!! if you don't have time to read the whole book, read their reviews so you know what people don't like to read in that particular genre.
