Herding Cats

Stories have a mind of their own. They don't always do what you want them to. They go off in their own directions. That sounds weird, since I'm the one writing it, how can that happen? I don't know half the time. Sometimes things slot into place perfectly and you step back and say 'Wow, how did I do that?' Other times, you step back and only then notice that the whole thing is the wrong shape and you say 'Wow, how did I do that?'

Writing is weird.

But I love it, and can't do anything else.
