How do characters meet in books? They come across the witch while she is fighting zombies and they help her. Ridmark has a truce with the Orc for some reason.... He saves the Magistri and she goes with him for a common cause. He saves the young man's life and he wants to join his cause. He saves the dwarf's life and he wants to help him too. Cheesy story badly edited. But better than anything I ever wrote. Common cause. Saves people's lives.
...too cheesy to emulate. But that's what I always say it seems. And I've never come close to finishing anything.
Just a critic. Able to focus on the faults. Not able to see the positives enough to put in the effort to create.
So I need to see the positives better and focus on them instead. Not that my creation is cheesy, etc, so much.
