I would be the opposite if I wrote the book, as much as I dont like planning I would have to make complete bios about all the characters including parents race age personality and even a short description about that characters past, have a detailed "map" of what the book will be like, create a detailed view of where ever the book is placed in and I would write it all based on what was in that.

See, I used to have to do that. Well, all but the character bios But with this one it's just... IMPOSSIBLE for me to plot. I don't know how to! When I try NOTHING comes to my mind. But I like writing this way so far It's fun figuring out something shocking as the author and not expecting it and being shocked myself! Anyway, I don't totally need to plot it out in detail anymore. The author in my mind keeps it stored. I rarely forget an idea, or forget where the story is going.

How long are your chapters?. The one i'm working around with atm is 12 pages. 7k+ in words.
I seen most books are diffenret when it comes to chapter.. sometimes they don't have a name for the chapter and just numbered them, I'm naming the chapters tho and I seen chapters come in all differnet sizes. so what do you do?

My chapters are generally between 4k-6k. It depends It depends on the book, honestly. With Rebel I'm naming them and with my romance novel I named them, but with other books I've written I don't name them.

I try to use the chapter name as a clue to what's going to happen ahead of time!

Yeah, I like having named chapters for that reason. Like the first chapter I got is called The Dream.

Generally, I keep my chapter names to one word, but there are a few that are more then that, like chapter eleven, I think called 'A Demon's Party'... I think it depends on the book on whether or not you should name them

I just finished posting the remainder of my NaNoNovel, Catch Me, I'm Falling Too Fast. The reason I'm posting the whole thing for a little bit (I don't normally do that) is because I doubt I'll ever publish it, purely because it's like a detailed version of my diary... Only one person that I know in real life has read this, and not even the whole thing! It don't mind sharing it with people I don't know, though Haha. www.goodreads.com/story/show/53091-catch-me-i-m-falling-too-fast?chapter=1So, there you go!
