You don't want his silly friends to have an ounce of play in the climax. After all, they've only been around for comic relief this whole time. Be sure to have your god-like hero solve everything.

"hmm," i said. "these illustrious sages should know what they're talking about, even if what they say sounds a little strange. who am I to question?" by about point 5 i was ready to search elsewhere for advice. by the 6th point, i got the.. erm, point! what can i say? i'm still learning! haheh and taking notes... i have been making my way through these archives and links to other articles, taking note of each bit of advice from all you ultra-wise personages. i started reading this article and took note of not planning ahead and creating new plotlines and setting off odd-sounding explosions.

Though I must say the closer I get to finishing a manuscript the more I want to hurry up and finish it. :P Not only missing the wonder of the ride – rushing also serves to smudge up details and it makes me forget the fundamentals of my novel – the way characters are supposed to react, the details in the background … so on so forth.

You know where the characters want to go, what they want to do, and then you rush the pace, destroying mood, tension, suspense, enjoyment. While some men may think I write with too little action, many women readers enjoy the slow journey I offer. Details, description, inner monologue, outer action, weather, ambience, all support a rich tapestry that I can weave when I take my time writing. I sometimes feel I'm riding a headstrong horse that I have to hold back with great effort. Racing to the finish means you've missed the wonder of the ride. Rushing the writing.
