While writing the story I’ll draw character sketches and world/background concepts, so I can get a feel of the people and places where the story is based. Usually, my basic script is still full of unnecessary scenes and characters, so I really have to make an effort and spend a lot of time boiling it down. It's just sticking to this plan I sometimes find difficult. I’ll then attempt to make a bare-bones script which I can later add further concepts and ideas that I have along the way. Initially, I'll come up with an idea and see if it's feasible, interesting and unique. I do try to plan as much as possible though.
