There's a great piece by Karen Miller in the Book Swede's pages about how to write really hard, big novels...it resonates for me powerfully, after spending this year on a complex world-building SF novel (Ketos).
The bit of Karen's piece that fails for me though is her analogy with how you make a triple layer Black Forest gateau. Her theory is that it goes in the oven looking like a mess, and emerges looking magnificent. Trust me - not when I make cake! It always comes out far far worse than it goes in.
