Today I was pretty lazy and didn't start writing until about noon. The lesson I'm learning so far is that it really doesn't matter if you've done an outline or know anything about your characters. Sure, the story sucks, and it makes you want to stop writing, but it's still possible to write a lot. And you can't really learn about writing if you're not writing.
What I'm saying is, rather than fretting about a perfect outline, or understanding your characters fully, it seems like it might be far better to write, and learn, and discover your story and its characters that way. Then, at least you're writing. You can make it better later. But this way at least you'll have something to make better.
