Okay I'm about to get to work on writing my game document. I press the open key and type my game's title and my name. Ah. Now what? I have all these ideas but what to write! Do I split it into sections, story, characters, weapons, classes? Is there a common template? Are their online examples I can learn from? I have it all in my head, but I'm struggling as to how i can professionally get it across. Thanks for any help, especially example design documents.

Why thank you. Glad it was helpful for you. Hope it helped the OP too. (Thought I posted this reply already but the site bombed out, apparently.)
