I just uprooted basically the entire premise of my novel and turned it on its head. Fun
Tell me about some times you changed massive plot lines or things of the such in your story. why did you do it? How did it feel?

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

I’m planning a book called Amulet and I had to scrap a few characters and replace them. It was a pretty big change.

@Masterkey

I did the exact same thing. The new version is virtually unrecognizable from the original nowadays, except for TWO characters' names.

@Masterkey

Oh yeah, and the concept of two huge regions separated by a mountain range, referred to as North and South. :P

I redid an entire series… Massive overhaul that i s too big to get into… Happy I did…

@Paperok

@MidnightWarrior13 Why did the characters need to be replaced? if you dont mind me asking.

@Masterkey How did that come about? You dont have to go into too much detail if you dont want to.

@shurikenwolfbadass_13 The entire series? why did that happen? details?

@Masterkey

Well the first version sucked, so I wanted to change it somehow. I kept changing and changing until I've got what I have now–something almost totally different from what it used to be. But it still retains the central trio and villains and setting in a way, so I can't really call it a different story.

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

Two of the main characters stayed. I changed the other characters because I wanted other fantasy species besides dragons. Before it was only dragons who have a human form and humans. I added angels and fairies and other stuff.

I scrapped 52 pages on google docs, added to James' grief, making him unstable, and killed off Ember.
Nothing much.

I literally change the plot of my story like every year lol. I have about 4 different variations of it. But I think that's because I've grown so much as a person and a writer that there's no way I would've been satisfied keeping everything the same.

@ElderGod-Winter-The-Renegade-Legionnaire

Here's how I fix this. I record myself just randomly telling a random scene or plot that I want to write, but i just couldn't start it. It will sound like you are thinking too much in the beginning, but soon the ideas will just flow naturally, and everything will fall into place. (Plus it is easier just using voice typing to get things down instead of actually typing)
