@nazsapphire Hey! Wow, thanks for coming to me for advice! I'm honoured haha. Everyone has there own way of doing it, but if there's one thing that I've learnt is that it's ALWAYS better to make a plan. I'll admit, "Deception" did not have a plan, and I just made it up as I went along, but as a result of that I've edited it about 5 times over because every single time I've found little plot holes that don't seem important at the time, but can actually have a bigger impact than you think. I hate drafts, but I've written quite a few books after "Deception" (that haven't been published here yet) and they have turned out SO much better with a plan. That being said, you don't have to plan EVERY chapter. I don't. I don't even know how many chapters there are going to be. I just write down my plot, the ideas I have, and then I expand. Feel free to send me a message! I'd be happy to go into more detail. I have soo much to say on this topic! :)
