So, you've got this fantastic idea for a book. Your friends think it sounds terrific! You decide to write a novel. You load up your desk with pens, pencils, paper and a laptop. Then you sit at your desk and stare at it all.

Beginning your first fiction novel can be overwhelming. So many decisions. Who will your characters be? How will they interact? How do you get your incredible idea from your head into a cohesive book?
