(This might sound hilariously confusing :D ) So, have you ever had a moment when you're just casually writing out a planned out scene, and then something just "pops" into your brain, and a new character suddenly appears from the dust and is now in the story?

Shannon Messenger Actually, this happens all the time, and is usually a sign that I'm finally hitting my stride with a story. The more the book feels like its writing itself, the better my writing usually is. :)
