plotless and pouting

[st_jane_ambulance]

I am having the most frustrating time plotting out my story. I barely know what I want to happen in the end, and I have no clue what I want for the middle. The last time I did this, I had something to work from, like a map or a list of places the characters went in chronological order. I have to do this one completely from scratch because I don't have much of a map except for the coastline. It's also been a long time since I made a map from scratch. I have no place names except for the name of the land, and even that's tentative. Maybe what I need to do is think of a bunch of neat places, then put them on the map, THEN start plotting out the story. It would be a start. I also need some interesting beings. And bad guy design. I'm starting to remember how this works.
