Did you outline your novel?

Did you work to a template with ready-made characters and working chapter titles?

Adrian I think I owe you an apology I somehow misunderstood your post the other day about did Nathan win the visit, I for some reason thought Adrian Sroka was your pseudonym and Nathan was your real name, it was because in that post I thought you were saying YOU hadn't put that piece in but had put another one in under the name of Nathan, let's not forget for me to go off at at a tangent and make my own story up isn't surprising, as that is after all what we all do here, make stuff up... so may I say sorry for getting it so wrong but it did have a head start because of the mix up and I do like a good conspiracy idea lol. hope this makes sense apologies and Regards Paul

If only I could be that organised! No, I had the place (almost a character in its own right; yes, I am a Hardy fan....) and the characters grew from that. No chapter titles ever, even now it's finished.
