From adventure to novel and viceversa

Hi there,

I'm writing down an adventure for my party, and while putting down the cornerstones I realized I want to write this as a novel as well.

Now the tricky bit, I would like to write first the adventure and then, using some of what happens, put together the novel.

I generally write down the end of the campaigns, with afterwards and what happened to the characters, but this would be a different type of effort since I want to put down all the lore, present side characters and other plots that players might not live/play but witness indirectly.

Did somebody go through something like this, and wants to share the experience?

What helped?

What didn't help?

What should I avoid?

I'm looking for tips and lessons learned :)

Thanks in advance!

Egon
