I'll often "see" a person, in a place, and working out the novel will be a matter of discovering why they're there, how they got there, and what is going to happen next. For example, in The Mathematics of Love, I "saw" a soldier near a river, watching a local girl bathing. I knew he was in Wellington's army, and everything grew from there.
