can you set your story down and come back to it without changing major turning points? I find I have big trouble with it...

Yeah, me too. For my exams - becuase I had to revise, I had to stop writing for a while, now I try and pick it up and I find I don't know where I am. Its like in a video when you go out to get a drink, and you come back and don't know who everyone is. Or when you're ill for a week and you go back to school/work and find that everything has changed. Sometimes I wonder if the people in my story don't have a life of their own - they sure write the story by themselves! I wonder how Tolkien found this - with such long stories he must have had the problem of loosing the thread, yet the final result shows no sign of loosing track - even after numerous drafts you can still see the joins in my story.
