I have the same problem!!!!!!! But considering that every fantasy book I've ever read has borrowed something from Tolkien, it seems kind of inevitable. He did invent the genre after all. I know what's gonna happen at the end of my story and the beginning, but not the middle. I'm worried that just having characters fight monster after monster will get boring and redundant. Any other people have this problem?
