For me I'm certain about the beginning and ending of my stories, but the uncertainty comes when I have to come up with the middle. I'm not sure ever which way I'm going to go. Plotting doesn't always help with the middle, but it helps me to keep my vision in sight for my ending. I guess as long as I know where I want to end up I can sort of control what my characters will do in order to achieve my ending. I'm often afraid that I will mess up so badly that I won't be able to fix my mistake enough to make the story believable. That might be a trait of a hard critic. They say we are our toughest critic. That's when I need to walk away and then come back and focus on the story from a reader's viewpoint, because me as the writer is clearly missing something. Great food for thought, Anjuelle.
