Herding Cats

Do I control my characters or do they control me?

By Rebecca Cantrell

I control most of my characters as much as I control my housecat. The cat and the characters usually come when I call. I can pick them up and move them around, but they don't stay where I put them unless they really wanted to go there. I have things that I want them to do, and if I'm very clever, they do those things.

I also have memories of cats and characters gone by. They've done what they've done and I have to make peace wit
