2006-01-10 [SleepingDragon]: Just a comment since I already had my two. I struggle with the plot thing too in my epic fantasy I am working on. I have a general roadmap in my head but I let the chapters take me where they will so to speak. It's worked out fine so far except for the occasional writers block when needing to start a new section. Sorry for the long post but I thought a bit of conversation here wouldn't hurt either

2006-01-10 [Askoga]: Hee, I know exactly what you're talking about, letting the chapters go where they will. I do the same thing, often, and sometimes the story ends up quite differently than I'd expected. It's fun, really, to see where the characters will take the story.

2006-01-10 [SleepingDragon]: Yea, exactly. Usually for me it's better than I may have planned something. Leaves room for new and sometimes great ideas to develope.

2006-01-10 [Mister Saint]: I've always found that planning too much means I never get started on a story. o.o If I know exactly what's gonna happen then I tend to rush to make it happen, instead of gradually building.
