And then before I write it I write an outline for the chapter with as much detail as I think of and a rough idea of the dialogue.

Oh wow, nice. That’s a lot more than I do, all I have when I go into a chapter is several bullet points under that chapter.

On that note, thinking of external justifications for why characters are where they are. Most of my main characters are either in their teens or close to it and the main external conflict is a war, so it’s extremely hard to think of a reason why anyone would allow these literal children to do anything.

Yeah, I see your point. As long as you have those justifications on paper and they are pretty valid, it’ll be fine. I will point out that in medieval times circumstances almost always caused young people to mature faster and be put out in the world at a young age (I’m talking 14-15), so you can have that mindset transfer to a fantasy world. Granted, I do much prefer to write characters that are 17 or 18+ as they can usually be considered adults and mature in most scenarios.

Welp, I hope your writing for book three goes well!
