[ OT ] Two years ago , I read a prompt on here that inspired me . Five minutes ago , I just finished writing my first novel !

Man, this is motivating me to get working on a novel ( and perhaps another two ) I've been wanting to put down on paper. The more I think of my story, the more fleshed out the story, characters, themes, plot points, etc. become. And it's also worth noting that I have yet to find anything resembling my story anywhere- *as far as I can tell*- so perhaps it would stick out as very unique and memorable. It could easily translate as both a novel or a series. A movie would be too short. 
 
 So with that said, how did you go about organizing your ideas, story, character summaries/backgrounds? The only thing really holding me back is lack of organization to translate from my head onto paper.
