The trap of "plottiness"Be careful to avoid stories where outcomes/resolutions depend on an intricately connected chain of external (i.e., non-character-related!) events. Tolkein´s LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy is an example of what you don´t want happening in your stories. While we love the characters, the real movement of those books depends on surprise events a few pages down the road.
