Once, one of the characters did the same thing twice, just a few paragraphs down. With the characters repeated actions that sometimes happen, just carefully edit, I'd say. Quote: Okay, firstly, I have this character who's caught up by the actions of other people and doesn't really have much choice. He's confused, but not self-pitying, but at the same time he wants to fight the people he works for, so effectively, he fights what he's become. I'm stuck because I can show him as good and bad, the two sides that confuse him, as well as a mixture, but it makes him too unpredictable and thus, I get lots of inconsistencies with the plot . . . I don't know about this--I have to work on that stuff myself. Quote: Other things are like descriptions that change, etc. and how locations fit together without messing up timing. If a character needs to get somewhere, and it's far away, then they can't just appear in the other place. What I would do (I don't completely remember what I actually did while editing the Legend) is write down the different locations in your story in an extra document or on a piece of paper, then write down what those locations look like and use it as a reference when you come back to that place later in the story. Also for location, I drew a map so I knew where the towns were compared to others. It's not very good, and was only so I wouldn't get messed up and have them going the same direction they just came from, but it worked.
