Making my first VN (Seeking advice, no content inside)

[RaijinSpark]

I'm planning to make a visual novel. I already have the plot in the making. I can't draw the characters so im thinking of hiring someone who can do the linearts then i'll color them myself. As for the scripting part Ren'Py engine provides all the crucial ones I think I can manage with basic knowledge on Python.

I was hoping if there are game developers here that could give me a direction on how to start things out as I only have pieces. I'm aiming for almost 100% original content on the game except for some parts such as music since I can't do them myself and it would take longer if I study how to make one.
