What is the moment when your novel feels real?
I've been chipping away at a book for the last three months. I'm not really a plotter in any formalized capacity. As the book goes I'll start working on an outline in my head, and sometimes start to write it down, and easily by 15k-20k I'll have a full shape of the story, or at least the broadest strokes when I hit the page.
Last night though I laid out chapter headings for the remaining chapters, and filled in little blurbs with what needs to happen in the chapter to get from beat to beat. For me it was the moment that the book all of a sudden became real. The light at the end of the tunnel stopped being a train.
What, for you, is the moment when the book stops being something conceptual and becomes something real and inevitable?
