Hi. You will find several tricks and methods for mapping out your story so that you will not get lost or draw a blank within the middle. On my web site, I have posted a workshop I conducted at a writing conference that deals with this subject. It is free of charge, and it covers one technique for getting an concept, developing the story, mapping out the details, after which writing the whole thing. It is entitled "The Brute Force &amp; Ignorance Approach", and it's under the "For Writers" section in my web site, www.vincenthoneil.com. I hope it assists.
