Nothing Goes as Planned

Without giving anything away, my plans for the new book are on-track, but took a decided turn. I've learned to go with this...just sigh, shake my head, slurp some more Diet Coke and keep writing.

Characters never quite turn out how you imagine them, they take on a life of their own, and suddenly I'm scared because I'm think WTHeck? Because the characters deciding to do their own thing or being someone completely different to the way they're supposed to be is just...well, weird, sometimes. And yes, it makes me nervous when they do this to me, because it affects my original story plan!

However, it keeps me on my toes (trying to be postive here!), and I've had more ideas. If the characters will only do WHAT THEY ARE TOLD!!!!
