Sometimes you don't really need a plot. just start with a day in some made up character's life. Describe their world what they're like, friends, family, enemies.. then sometimes the story will just come to you... then just go with the flow. Eventually you'll start seeing a basic plot and know where you want it to go..

The first thing that comes to mind is something that would be in the middleish parts.

Dagger1819 I mean..The ideas are pretty much there, but I have no idea at all how I would go about starting. When you thought about any random idea, jot it down right away, after compiling some/a lot, try making a story out of it. =)

if the first thing that comes to mind is in the middle, maybe you should write a prologue. 3nodding Take that part, as to hint the readers what may happen later, then start writing it from the beginning part.

I'm not sure about anyone else but I find it helps to get your characters personalities down first thing. If you have them down then you can slip into their characters and the story may end up writing itself. Hope it helps, I'm not sure how else to explain it >.<;

You say that you already have a plot? Well then, just write the bits that you know. Such as - you know that in your plot, two people will fall in love. In this case, write a scene where they meet, where they fall in love, what their friends think of this, what they say... etc. None of the scenes have to connect up. They could be all completely detached. Just keep writing until they start to intertwine smile
