YMMV on this depending on writing style, but do the story's homework. Plan character arcs. Make sure you can answer "what does the character want and how do they get it?" for each scene in less than two minutes. Map out the story structure. It's easier to write when you know what you're writing.

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.
