Which is why I like fantasy. Anything that's going to happen can happen all at once. ;)

Ahhhh, I hate filler!!  LOL that's the worst, when you know you've got exciting stuff coming but have to get through all the boring crap before you can write it LOL.

Yea filler drives me crazy too, but unfortunately a good story can't have drama after drama or else it starts to become too unbelievable. And the filler is where you can drop all the lil hints (that most readers don't get anyway) about future events. Just as a writer they are boring to write cuz I feel like I'm dragging things out too much.

They get them if they're not total idiots.

Yep which makes me want to start writing some of the more exciting stuff into the filler crap to give people a glimpse of what's to come
