Based on the context and the answer, generate a question. 

Context: I 'd already decided how I wanted the book to start out ( though I had n't figured out if I wanted some kind of prologue or not ) and I knew a good deal of the road I needed to travel . So why could n't I get going ? My first stumble was deciding if I needed to format it like you are suppose to do . You know the first page is blank but for the title and author name , pages are double spaced , etc .

Answer:

They knew how they wanted the story to go .



What do they mean by " the road they wanted to travel " ?
