What sorts of things do we need to do in adnvace, really? I've not written anything like this before, so does anyone have some hints?

I've got a basic plot from A to Z. Should I fill in more little side issues along trhe way and kind of do a chapter by chapter break down of what is gonig to happen?

Having read David and Leigh Eddings Riven codex I'm rahter freaking about the need for prewriting everything! (Thankfully I'm not doing a fantasy novel, and dont need to invent a whole planet of cultures etc)

HELP!

Allie

I've got a title now ~ which is a bit of a relief because this story's been title-less since I thought of it about a year ago.

As Time Goes By

Nicely evocative of the 40s and Casablanca! The lyrics just fit the plot so well...

QUOTE
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
