How do you get started with a book? I have a lot of scene ideas and a very vague outline, I just don’t know what I should really start with. I don’t want to write all the scenes I’m excited for first and then drag myself through the rest (and vice versa)

Maybe make a bit more of a detailed outline. And write what you already know. Then you can worry about ordering them and you’ll have an idea for how to get from a to b to c…etc

Also, if you still are missing info on things like setting and characters now is a good time to take what you know and do short writing exercises to get to know your characters and setting a little better
