Wordmaker:
A couple of weeks ago I was discussing my next book with my publisher, and how to make it stronger. Then it hit me, that I was so set on writing a 6-book series that I was thinning out the second book to keep important events for later.

I realised that by delaying the really good stuff I was shooting myself in the foot. So I agreed to re-write books 2 and 3 as a single novel and eventually do the same with books 5 and 6, spreading anything important from book 4 into each of them.

And bingo. I was now writing a trilogy.

Snowleopard:
Not a real biggie.  I had a minor character do something annoying and discovered, to my surprise and delight, that I can use that incident and it's fallout later to help my heroine get out of a tight situation.
It involves frogs and Tibetan Prayer flags and don't ask.

And now all I want to do is ask!  :P
