SUPERFLUOUS

On Chapter Ten, but things are not going as planned. Once or twice I've thought of abandoning the project; the characters have taken over the plot and I've lost control. One of my characters whom I had always been fond of, seems to have turned into a villain, against my intentions. I don't care for writing about folk I have no sympathy with, and I always think I'll pop them off if they become obnoxious. I'll battle on for a while yet, but must admit I'm struggling here. There's already been one murder, and its looks like the score is going to rise to two. This is supposed to be romantic/erotic suspense... frankly, I don't know what the hell it is at the moment. I'm overthinking instead of just steering the characters along a path and occasionally giving them a nudge. Will it get finished or do I press the erase button? The ups and down of writing, eh.
