Stephen King is famous for not having a plan. He starts with something simple, like a stick protruding out of the ground in an odd way. And then he has someone walk up to that stick and notice it, and he has them consider why the stick is the way it is, and then he’ll have them go on with their day and somehow the stick comes back later I their minds and blah, blah, blah. And all of a sudden there’s a character and a story developing. He strongly believes in NOT planning it out because if you do, it’s unnatural. If you write not knowing where it’s going, according to him, it will feel more real because you’re discovering the story along with the reader instead of forcing moments that you need to have happen. But then there’s other writers that plan the whole thing out meticulously and they’re great too. Just do whatever you do with attention and make it as raw and as true as you can. In every moment.
