Where do you start??
When you get an idea for a manuscript, where do you typically start? Do you start by outlining the plot? Do you start by outlining the characters— who they are, what they want, their objectives? Or do you start with chapter 1? Maybe you start with the plot twist or the climax? Let me know where you start your manuscript.
