Its damn hard... If I must tell you... I am thinking that working on characters, and an overall story line first is the way to go..

then write a chapter on one of the ideas in the story line... Then another and another...

Then link them..

Most stories are in 3rd person. So the goal to a chapter seems to be keep the view point from just one character and one time line...

I am looking at the books I enjoy and seeing how they are structured...

But it is hard to write everyday...

We can chat off line about it... Pass on tips etc... No need to reinvent the wheel or for both of us to commit the same mistakes

May I recommend Stephen King's excellent book On Writing? It has lots of wonderful tips, and the guy is a master author.
