@Chm1000234 Hi, no, I don't write whole stories in advance—if I did, I wouldn't have so many breaks between publishing, since I'd have a finished story sitting in my files. ;)
At the beginning, when I started writing my first story, I wrote a couple of pages and decided to begin my adventure with storytelling. Back then, I wrote chapters chronologically, updating once I had a chapter ready in advance. But that quickly changed as my ideas for the story evolved and grew. I began writing scenes ahead of time—snippets, lines—that slowly came together to create a bigger picture, which eventually shaped the direction Come Back to Me took.
As I kept writing, more ideas and inspiration struck. Whenever that happened, I’d just open a new file and write whatever came to mind. Usually, I start with the prologue to see where it takes me. Then, I write a middle breaking point, the main confrontation, and a few random scenes in between to help me figure out the narration style and plot structure. After that, I let the stories rest and breathe, returning to them from time to time to reread and add more.
When I have a story where I know all the main plot points, character arcs, and how it will end—and I feel ready—I start publishing it.
I never change the storylines based on my audience’s reactions, the story unfolds just as it played out in my heady with no changes.
