Hello acrossnation. I think that you can learn a lot from reading a novel on how it is developed in the story. If you read it carefully and find some clues, I am sure that you will make it very easily with all of your ideas added to the story. By the way, you may write all of your ideas first in case you do not forget them and will be able to use them when it is needed. Enjoy your writing! Take care.

That's good steps. Creating novel is certainly going to need more energy and a lot more time than creating short paper. As I know, I will give you simple steps : 1. Find and get idea 2. The idea developed into synopsis. At this stage, we also had to determine the characteristics of the characters 3. Develop a storyline synopsis 4. The storyline developed into preliminary draft 5. The initial draft to be refined into the final draft That's Clear ?
