For those who have written a novel or two?
I understand that some novelists use outlines and some just go with the flow, and the beauty of novel writing is that there is no right or wrong way how to write a novel. But I am curious about three things for those of you that have written a novel before. How did you make sure or estimate that what you planned to write would turn into a full-length novel? I have already outlined my story I have 20-25 basic scene cards, I plan to write something in between the scenes that I have already planned, but I fear that I will write the whole story and only come up with 10,000 words or so. And how do you write/divide the book into chapters? When I think of my story I don’t really think in chapters. And what is your method on how to create characters that your readers will love and/or care about and are believable?
Thanks in advance!
