Taking those initial ideas and piecing together a story...
I'm working on my second book at the moment and thought I'd share a few thoughts on the subject of turning my intial vague notes into an actual story:

But I also wanted to know how do you dream up your stories? Do ideas come mostly formed? Do you think about a protagonist or villain first and then start placing plot points around them? Do you get random ideas and then try and make sense of them all after a while? What's your method for creating a new story? :)
