This one is great XDD

All my stories and plots usually mutate on their own and I still have no idea how comes I can handle them in the end x_x

Sometimes I wish the plots that do come into my head would evolve quickly, so I won't get new ideas halfway through the story and have to change some stuff in the beginning. This is not without it's enjoyable side but it can also be a bit of a bother. ^^

I change the story only if I haven't started to write it. If it's something I know it's gonna be long, I write down the plot and the "timeline" first. Then I think about the story and if I want to change something, I do it in my notes.

It's a good way of mapping out the story. I really should try it sometime.

About plot--when I write, I always make sure to have a beginning and an end, even if it's just an ending scene or a vague idea of how the characters will be. I try to keep them not too long, because otherwise I'm afraid sub-plots would creep in and become unmanageable. >_>

[heaven_sword]

Ah, sub-plots. Another bane of my existence. *hangs head in shame* I'm the sort that usually lets the story flow along, but I would like to know beforehand how the major conflict would resolve itself. If not, things will get out of hand, as you say.
