Thanks a lot these seem like really good resources. I feel like the main thing that's stopping me from writing is the discipline, hopefully I'll find ways to overcome that in the future. Just to tack on this thread do you plan out your entire plot from the beginning itself. I've found it pretty hard to establish a storyline/structure when I start the novel.

How do you go about building the plotline for your novel ?

Do you usually come up with the character sketches or the plotline idea first ? I feel that might make a lot of difference when you think of structuring your work ?

I think all my stories lack an idea of an ending, I keep making it up as I go along and that makes it sort of impossible to write anything more than a couple of thousand words for a single story. I end writing really cinematic scenes and then I'm stumped.
