If you've written (or are currently writing) a novel, how much planning went into your story before you even started writing the first chapter? Did you map out the personalities of your characters and intricate details of the plot, or did you just have a rough idea which direction you wanted to head and go from there?
If you had a detailed plan, did you stick to it once you started writing, or did the characters develop minds of their own and change the way your novel developed?

I considered doing a rewrite of a novel I wrote about ten years ago, but after skimming through it, it just seems like it'd be too much work...almost like having to rework the whole thing. I feel like my time would be better spent calling that a learning experience and moving on, using the knowledge I've gained since then to start something new.

Sometimes looking at a photo can get the gears turning. Do you find yourself being inspired to write based on a photograph you've seen?
I thought it'd be nice to have a place to post those story inspiring photos, where members can go if they're stuck for ideas or suffering from writer's block.
