It usually amazes me how easily people can say already how many books they want to write. I never plan those things, if I have an idea (and time!) I think it out and write it; if it has potential for a sequel, I write that later.
Writing something, say even the length of a series like Pratchett's Bromeliad trilogy or LoTR is quite beyond me. But then again, short stories like mine never have to be cut up to fit into books. And I will most likely never face the problem of deciding whether I'll put Shelob at the end of book 4 or whether I'll keep Her for later.

But I'm with Eärniel about plotting the content being tricky. It keeps changing! You might write out a brilliant plot and then find out that the characters have other plans .

Okay, there's no way I'm going to read all the way through this thread.. so i thought i'd jump right to the end lol (Especially since the topic interests me!) I've already had one book published, and it was the beginning of a trilogy. Not sure how many novels i'm going to write after that. We'll just have to wait and find out. But I know that this trilogy is just the beginning.

If you were working on a computer, have you ever tried to save what you had then had it all erased because your mom didn't realize she was deleating something of yours? or the computer choose that time to be a dork? Very upsetting.

I always have half my stories on paper and the other half on the computer. I all depends on where I am when I get and idea, so my stuff is not always safe from screwing up.
Has anyone here heard of Noble House? They are supposed to be publishing my stuff. Menelanna, I love your avatar. One of my best friends is nicknamed Tinkerbell.
