Thanks for the suggestions, Vydor. I'll check out King's book. And I did see Card's info on writing... a bit too much planning for me.

I was thinking that I was doing something wrong when planning... but I guess I am one of those people who just shouldn't plan too much and let the story write itself.

I figured it would be easier for me to properly plan everything from A to Z, as that what I was always told in school and it kind of stuck to me... but it seems like planning too much in detail is just making it harder for me.

But I will try using the backward planning method next time... sounds interesting and I never thought of planning like that before.
