: Re: What else should I plan? I have started writing a novel. I've done some character questionnaires for my main characters, and I've outlined the plot. I want to do this planning to keep my story

Some advice I got when outlining my current project is that, in addition to outlining the plot and the characters, I can outline the plot hooks that tie each major section of the story together. This way, when I started writing, I knew which pieces of foreshadowing I needed to add and how each moving piece of the story fit together. So far, it has been very helpful.

Here are some of the questions I asked myself about each major plot point in my story:

What is at stake during this chapter?
What do the main characters win or accomplish?
What do the main characters lose, forcing them to continue their adventure or return to this plot point later?
What do the main characters learn?
