Star Blazer in the Babylon-5
The Starforce finish a 2 weeks of testing and training of crew of the new EDF ship Yamato 2 of the Great Yamato class space battleship. On the way home, they end up in the Babylon-5 dimension.
Is this a beginning of a story, or a premise?
The first story I wrote chronologically from start to finish, and the story suffered somewhat in characterization and plot because of this.
The story I'm working on now I'm...using a far less chronological method, but it boils down to planning ahead for all aspects of your story, including some psychoanalysis of the characters, second-guessing yourself on the plot (often - trust me, you don't want to have a reader say "well, that was cool - but couldn't you have just done x instead?"), and plotting out ahead of time, in skeleton form, what's basically going to happen.
This way, when you get to the writing stages and if you get a good idea while writing (happens to me all the time), then at least you'll be able to properly judge the idea's merit.
I hope this helps.
