Where my characters will take me? Ha! That can be interpreted in so many ways. I love that they take me to worlds I've never explored, but sometimes they run off with the story and getting back on track can be a challenge.
But then you learn something from them, right?
Ha! Yes, I do. And then I have to figure out how to seemlessly work it all in together.
It's quite fun.
Most recently, I was introduced to my MC's future wife through that kind of epsiode. Nothing like adding an entire character who has to have a large role in the book.
Sometimes you have to kill off characters; sometimes you need to bring them on-stage!
Just discovered your blog. And, boy, do I need nudges of encouragement and bits of inspiration right now! I'll visit often. Thanks!
