I have two novels I am trying to get published, and a few short stories. What has always worked with me, is recording my ideas as I talk about them. I don’t try to organize them. I just try to get them out there. At some later point in time, I transcribe them and that is when I work on one section at a time. I find the transcription process triggers a huge information flow, where I can either type or talk to get the information recorded. Since I can talk WAY faster than I type, I usually end up recording my voice.
I hold myself to one subject or section for a couple reasons. I need to remain interested in doing the project, so I gate the flow work. I can’t jump around, or I will miss things. My wife is my proof reader and she checks my continuity so I segue from one subject to another in a smooth and logical manner.
Hope this helps.
