Just begin Steffen! Don’t look too far ahead. Consider it play. I write using the snowflake method. I treat it like a fractal. I write a one line summary of the book, a paragraph summary, character codex - personality traits, backstory, character arcs, etc, the book outline divided into its chapters, then the chapter outline, then the story beats, then the prose and dialogue itself. Just keep zooming in and the book sort of writes itself—I promise! https://www.scribophile.com/academy/how-to-plot-a-story-using-the-snowflake-method

This sounds like a very cool technique.
I have never heard about it, thank you very much.
I will give it a try.
