This is a question Failed Projects

You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

Did you start counting them

Anyway apparently the best way to do it is, rather than starting with chapter 1 and keeping going, to start by doing a short summary of the story. Then write it again, with a bit more detail. Then with a bit more, and so on until you're writing it out as it will be in the finished novel.

I never would have thought of it.
