Whenever I start to draft I book, I’m often not sure if I have enough material, either. I think it’s because I typically know three things up front: 1) Where I’m starting 2) Where I’m ending 3) The main character’s desire, which will drive the plot forward. All the stuff in-between the beginning and the ending? I really don’t know, and I discover it as I draft.
I think the best thing is to simply begin writing your story. Let it unfold. Discover subplots and secondary characters as you go. I think you’ll be surprised by how many things you discover. If the story continues to grow and grow, then you might have two stories on your hand. :)
