Mythical Creatures

rope twisted around a single strand, each strand that breaks weakens the whole. Would the twining become generational? Passed from one soul to its offspring so the whole may live when the elder dies? It sounds like a horror story seed.

from twining may be passed to offspring but not the twining, so offspring would be better off than their ancestors. There's quite a lot to consider and I still haven't decided what kind of protective head gear the elves could use to prevent twining.

found that the more things I try to tie together, the more difficult the story becomes. And unless you map it all out ahead of time, the story can derail quickly and facts won't add up. Since you are on Wattpad, you should be familiar with how they have the Story Notes part of the story development? If I were you, I would review my story and protagonist's goals and perhaps use the story notes as a guide, revising them as needed. Also, I see that you've tagged 'werewolf,' and beyond loosely using the word 'mate' in your book description, you don't say that this is a werewolf story. Since that is such a trending topic, I'd try to state that more bluntly. Otherwise, it sounds like an interesting, but potentially confusing plot. I wish you the best of luck!!
