Question by Matt:
How much planning do authors do before they start writing a fiction book?
Im talking big time, like lord of the rings. How much detail do they go into when creating the wrolds history and backstory and character developement and backstories? Do they plan in detail every single adventure that happens in the book. Do they plan out all the characters in the book? How much of everything is usually created during the writing process and how much is created pre-writing in the planning process?
Plz help ive got inspiration and an idea but i dont know how much planning i should do
