To write a book is the dream of 3/4 of all people. Well, it would help a lot if you could tell more, especially since the mentality should be "I have this idea and blahblahblah *ends up writing book*" not so much "I want to write book, now what".

So what is the other 1/4 dreaming about is it Pie? I would rather make a comic, or an animation....
I don't know where to start well I have a few ideas for you Determine the setting your characters live in, usually this is is a good point to start because you can create how things work in the world...for example in One piece the world is mostly islands which create a perfect setting for pirates and such...there are also more supernatural things as a fruit that gives inhuman powers to the consumer but it comes at a great cost, they cannot swim they become very weak in water and drown...
You just have to determine how things work in your world, sometimes there are good references right in your own life
That's enough. Considering my idea for the NaNo was "I wanna write about a girl". Catch the tone somehow. Where to start, what to do, how to tell. If you got an idea, that idea will most likely already have formed something about just that.
I don't think you should make too much right now concerning that, unless it will be really important to the story. The story is currently what you should work on, if you want to make it. Unless you are Tolkien, story comes first always.
some guy going to hell and someone breaking him out
Have you seen "Lo"? It's this horror/comedy about this guy who tries to rescue his girlfriend from hell. It's more hilarious than one would think.
About maps... I'm going to assume that there will be a significant amount of journeying in your book. I actually think you should draw the map before you write. It shouldn't be detailed or artistic, but it should be accurate. This way, when you write the story it will be a LOT easier to get times and distances right.
If you have everything right in front of you, it won't be difficult to tell how far it is from A to B, from B to C, and from C back to A. Otherwise, things might start to get a little confusing.
The map should more be for your benefit than for the reader's.
True, both of the things that you guys said is true. I think I will go with aknerd on this oned though. Once I make it up, I would scan it but I have no Scanner |(
