: Re: Notes first or just start writing? Is it better to start writing without making notes or do I have a few notes set up and then start writing? Or the other way, where I simultaneously write

Everyone has their own process. If you don't, then try one and see how it goes.

I suspect I'm in the minority here, but I never outline or make notes. I begin by writing and I see what story emerges from that. Writing scenes reveals who the characters are, how they relate to each other, what they're going to do in the story, etc. Through revision, much of this writing gets shed, but it's the foundation of future drafts.

(In truth, I do have lists of story ideas, and those act as the kernel for that initial exploratory writing.)

Just write.
