I absolute adore epic journeys that require a protagonist to fight for every victory in the hopes of finding triumph.
Megan ChanceI do not often follow my characters off on tangents or change my story on a whim. I have an outline which I follow quite sternly...for a good long while. Then it turns out in some way to be insurmountably wrong and I am forced to re-think every component. Usually at this point I throw hundreds of pages away.
