I tried following all sorts of rules and outlines and character sheets, snowflakes, you name it, I tried it. <br /><br />What I learned is that I had to do it how it came to me. Some days the character was right up front and others, the story was there. Sometimes I could listen to music to bring forward and sometimes it had to be silent.
