    So true! I like to compare book series I’ve read, and one thing I was noticing the other day was how one used a TON, but in the other there’re were any barely commas!

    Really? The whole thing?! Wow! How far are you in, then?  I remember loving The Point of Travores when you posted it on the Flabbit Room, though I don’t remember how many chapters you had down.  And yes, you’re right again!  In my WIP, I had this nasty little problem where I wasn’t sure how I would make a certain thing happen, that absolutely needed to happen, but when I just gave up on plotting for a bit, and just wrote until I got to that part, it worked out.  I thought of the solution as I was writing, which was quite nice 🙂

    And NICE!! Honesty, I respect you for having your skeleton.  In my WIP, I have more of a concept, rather than something solid like bones… It’s just kinda floating everywhere in my brain 😛

    And yes, the map thing’s a very good way for me to start world building. Really helps.

    Thanks!! I know what you mean about seeing your story from a different perspective.  I do this thing where an idea I completely love slaps me in the face one day, so I write a lot of things down (characters, plot, the usual). But when I’m a couple of chapters in, I start feeling like its cheesy, and, when I see other people’s stories on SE, I start thinking thoughts like:

    Wow, that person’s story is amazing.  How come mine isn’t like that?  

    Or I think:  Why did’t I think of having that element in my story? 

    And so on it goes 😛 So, finally, I’m just sticking to the story I have, even though sometimes I really want to quit, haha XD

    Thanks! Evlarin actually fit into it by being one of the people in the prophecy, one of the Keepers of the Stones of Katir’kar. (Thanks for saying that’s a cool word, BTW :D) And yes, they once were human… *ominous sound effect: bum bum, buuum* 😛

    I KNOW!! For my WIP, I’m writing each chapter like the ones in official books, and now I have a new appreciation for authors..
