Hello people and gentleman. This is my first 4chan post but I am in the progress of trying to write a book and I could really use some basic advice. thank you very much
Do you have the entire plot structure broken down from start to finish?
Have you compiled who your characters are and the type of people they are?
Does you book have an overlaying message or stereotypical arc?
Just some food for thought.

Yes those are the basic features I was already on about. I do have a basic idea, but have no idea how to create a story around it.
I haven't written anything yet (going to make a plan first), but I'm afraid my story will be too short or uninteresting.
Make sure to write at least a little bit every day. Sometimes a clearly laid-out pathway isn't always available, and the only thing I've found so far to remedy that is to simply try to work with where I'm at in the story and see if it can go anywhere helpful to its progression, and, at least usually I see something that can be put to use that will help to get things going in a meaningful way.
