Something Simpler.  the 'legend' if the challenge was that he wrote codex Alera on the two basic ideas of Roman Legionaries and Pokemon.  I was hoping for something more like but with Robin hood and something else.
Robin Hood and frickin Narnia, then. Or Hogwarts.

I've Decided to try and take on the 'Butcher Challenge'.  I'm going to try to use one of the ideas that's been of great inspiration in my life, Robin Hood.  But it's just not quite enough to get the juices stirring, and I need a little help finding a second idea to go with it and try to write a story on the idea I find most interesting and Robin Hood.  (PS. Please help!)
Robin Hood escaping from an execution?

Well, I imagine the question is "I want to write a cogent, compelling book that intrigues an audience and hooks them. What's the best way to start out?" ;) 
1) Blow something up.
2) Make it a love story.
I've actually written a chapter already, but it's pretty cheesy with the whole love story idea.

Is it considered a bad idea in the writer's world to think up a book as you go along, instead of planning it out beforehand? Because I had an idea for a story and was going to do some writing, but I wasn't sure if I need a general outline or anything like that. Advice/comments welcome.
