    Yes!! I completely get that!  That’s basically my plotting.  I know what point A and point B are, but when it comes to all the stuff in-between, I just think, “Eh, I’ll make it up when I get there.” Which probably just means that I’m too lazy to do it XD

    Yes, exactly! Jelly-like and spattered with deep, black, and seemingly unsolvable holes..

    *sits down beside you and pulls out large piece of paper and points to multiple spots as I start speaking* So, I guess I did a map with Evlarin’s story.  I drew several continents and randomly jotted down names for them, then I added some broad details to the continents which would barely or never come into the story. (Details as in vague regions, etc) Then with places that were definitely in my story, I created cities and regions and territories and all the stuff in between.  So.. yep.  I’m considering making a map for my WIP, but first I have to solidify some stuff for the plot first, as I made some changes.

    Yeeeessssssss! That is so truth: “An artist is his worst critic.”

    And yes, I get that.  I have so many barely begun stories… But one good thing is that I’ll take a concept or character from one I don’t wanna do, then incorporate it into the current one, which is always fun to do.

    Hahaha!  I also understand not writing down characters or anything.  I usually write down the bare minimum, then add to it later as I develop the character and dive into their hopes and fears and all the rest of that. 😛

    Lol, thanks!

    And yes! I started The Wind in the Willows a long time ago, and I’m sad to say that it’s collecting dust on my shelf.  I suppose I was only 9, but to me it was rather “nutritious” for my brain, as vegetables are for my body.  I was (and am) still a little too used to “candy literature” XD  But wow, I can’t imagine doing that for dictation.. *pats your hand consolingly* I pity you. 😛
