    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    Thanks for all the helpful replies and fun reads I'm glad to hear that you think that the current plot is workable. I realize now just how complex this story has become. I'm young and inexperienced, and I fear that I might have made things too complicated (once again!) To make a long story...

    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    I do have these three points you listed in place, and I have several documents where I've added and lined the central plot points. I could fill you in on these points, but I don't know if that would be of any interest to any of you. I got the first part of the story sorted out since I have the...

    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    Yes, I've considered the different what-ifs and scenarios (much fun to be had!) "Sometimes the anxiety over the plot comes because I have something I want to happen. I spend all my time trying to figure out how to make that happen" This is exactly what I'm dealing with. This thing with the...

    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    To answer your question: Yes, the prince has a "masterplan", so the MC is right about that something's up. But she still doesn't know what he's up to, and she has no good evidence and minimal support She actually confronts her childhood friend with her suspicions, and he doesn't really take her...

    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    Okay, so I'll try to summarize this part of the plot that I'm worried about. There's more to the story, but this is the part that I'm unsure about. ------ The main character is from one of the noble families in the kingdom, and her father has slowly made his way all the way to the top and is...

    Have you ever doubted your plot?

    So here I am again, with another problem/question ...Please bear with me xD Okay. So I've been working on this story for a few months now and I've written four chapters so far. I'm quite pleased with my main character, but I've started worrying about my plot (and a little bit about...

    Problem with editing and first drafts

    Thanks for all the wonderful answers! I'm sure I could ask you anything about writing and still get good answers Also, I should mention that I'm more of a discovery writer who SHOULD be an outliner (if that makes sense). If I outline everything in detail the story gets boring for me since I...

    Problem with editing and first drafts

    Thank you for all your replies I guess I'll have to get through this somehow and just keep writing. I want to be able to write (and stop editing). I have most things sorted out since I always start with some kind of idea, build the world and create the key characters before I start writing. I...

    Problem with editing and first drafts

    Thank you for your reply. As a person with traits of a perfectionist it pains me that the result won't be any good in the end, but I'm aware of this. If it wasn't for my friends and the experience the writing process gives me I would consider it a waste of time. I have written another fantasy...

    Problem with editing and first drafts

    I don't know if I've posted this thread in the right place, and I guess this problem is very common I'm currently writing a fantasy story (won't call it a novel yet) and I've written the first four chapters. The problem is that I never go beyond four chapters in my stories because I start...
