Stage 1: I really hate writing proposals for books four and five when I haven't even plotted out book three yet.
Stage 2: I really love it when, in writing vaguely about book four, I realize what has to happen in book three.
Stage 3: I really think it's neat when, knowing what happens in books three and four, book five sort of falls into place. Vaguely.
Stage 4: I hate knowing that, despite knowing where everyone needs to start and finish, once I start the actual writing-of-story, all bets are off and the characters are in charge. And they're not much on logical plot-lines and start-and-finish.
Ah well. If it were predictable, I wouldn't enjoy the process quite so much. I guess.
