ahh this is such a nice question! for me, i usually use an outline but i also like to imagine the relationship between the characters. when i have their dynamics down it makes everything easier? like for an example when i write yeji and chaeryeong i like to establish what makes them important to each other, what makes them like each other, and what is keeping them from being together. all that makes it easier to finish because i have a goal (the emotional barrier/what’s keeping them apart). but at the end of the day you just have to put words on the page! even if you think they’re bad, writing them down is better than a blank document.
thank you for this question! good luck writing!! 💗
