And it was actually that post that started me thinking on the topic. It's easy to get lost inside your own head when you're writing; you start out with one small step, and then another, and then another, and before you know it you're so far from canon or logic that no reader could follow you. Especially if you're working in isolation without people to stop you when you've crossed the line. Which is why beta readers are the best thing ever.
