Jin Ryoo asked Stuart Gibbs:

I really have to ask you another question because I don't know what to do! I love writing (maybe you know that from my previous question from barely an hour ago) and I planned out a basic structure. I know what I want to write, where I want to write it, the characters in it, and the events that are going to happen. But I can't seem to put in the details! What should I do? Do you have a suggestion? Thank you! - Jin

Stuart Gibbs If you have your story outlined, then start writing. Sometimes the details will come to you. Sometimes, you can go back and add them. (I do this second step a lot.) The trick is to start writing -- and to realize that your first draft is not your last draft. You will have many chances to add details.
