Did you outline/plan your novel?

How did you devise your storyline and plot? Did you work to a template with ready-made characters and working chapter titles, or did you just write.

Was a bit of both for me Adrian.

I had an idea, a need shall we say, to write a story, do I created my lead protagonist.

I continued to write for days, probably weeks, was he interesting enough.

The I started over. I knew who he was, knew his voice but I had no plan for him .

So I sat down, found the world that he would find, and took him on an adventure.
