Books that focus on an extended very closely-knit group (6-12) of characters who live and do stuff together? Think Hobbit, New Testament Apostolic band, RPG party members. What character archetypes go well together to form your group?

L'homme moderne estime la tradition justifiée uniquement par ad antiquitatem, alors que ça n'est pas proprement l'ancienneté de la tradition qui la légitimise, mais bien sa pérénité.
Il est nécessairement portée une valeur intrinsèque forte par toute conception transmise de génération en génération. De la même façon qu'un ouvrage de littérature ayant été lu pendant des millénaires porte des richesses qui sont la raison de sa venue jusqu'à nous ; ça n'est pas son ancienneté qui justifie son existence, mais bien son existence qui garantit son ancienneté.
La tradition est donc balayée sans plus de considération, et relayée au statut de l'arbitraire. Ce statut permet de la déshabiller de toute valeur intrinsèque, et donc de commencer le travail de déconstruction.
Dans cette opération, l'homme moderne créé nécessairement une nouvelle collection de valeurs, et c'est cette collection qu'il juge juste, bien que l'histoire récente a démontré l'éphémérité criante de telles conceptions.
C'est par cet privation de la nourriture traditionnelle et juste que l'homme moderne se voit forcé de trouver un ersatz, car l'homme ne peut vivre sans morale, son combat contre la morale n'est qu'un combat de la morale présente vers la morale future.
C'est ce meme combat, couplé à la nature arbitraire de cette morale transitaire, qui accélère le changement du paysage moral du monde moderne.
Ainsi, dans les années 1970, la pédophilie effectuait une percée fulgurante en France, pour retomber quelques années plus tard, dans les années 1960, la libéralisation sexuelle se voyait freinée par le SIDA, pour s'adoucir au fil du temps.
Les années 1990-2000 étaient les années du multiculturalisme, aujourd'hui presque remplacé par une forme grandissante de communautarisme.
Les valeurs de l'homme moderne n'en sont donc pas, elles ne contiennent aucune vérité profonde, et n'existent que dans le sillage de leur époque, mues par une force qu'elles domptaient précédemment. L'interchangeabilité des valeurs est perçue comme une preuve de fertilité intellectuelle, mais si rien ne reste, l'esprit n'a rien produit de valeur.
Une plante qui produit des fruits inmangeables peut-être fertile, si elle ne nourrit personne, elle ne peut remplacer notre pain quotidien.
L'homme moderne rejette donc la tradition avec une véhémence qu'il ne comprends pas lui même, et s'accroche jusqu'à la radicalisation à des valeurs qu'il quittera, comme tout ses pairs, dans quelques années. C'est une bête, mue par les autres, esclave de son destin.
Un ersatz d'homme qui produit un ersatz d'idées.

I like to write a very, very barebones outline of the whole thing first and just completely wing the first couple sections. If I have pulled anything up I'm happy with, I take a step back and see how everything could fit together from that starting point. On nights where my creative energy is bursting and overflowing I will write some of the more important scenes, wherever they happen to fall on the novel's timeline. Otherwise I will continue to write linearly from the start, outlining the next section before writing it. That's what I strive for, anyway. Doesn't always work like that when I sit down to write for the day.

you're new as fuck
it's a common and shallow ass idea and anyone who's written for more than a few months knows that the majority of people work inbetween these two extremes
