yikes! I can't even imagine that kind of issue.

Oh geez, that's funny! But yeah, my characters grow minds of their own all the time, but usually not this extreme. I have to throw out solid chunks of my first attempt out... it's a bit saddening.

Usually when a character changes its mind on me, it's usually something small... like this particular character revealed she's gay, when I never had any intention on having anything resembling a love life for her. I still don't think it'll be included, but it definitely took me by surprise!

I never really do anything with it either, but I think I'm getting jealous... My mom just published her second book. :P

Thankfully things are starting to come together. The two are finally entirely separate characters. They might even meet at some point, though not in this book. And for once, I'm actually planning out how the book is going to go instead of flying by the seat of my pants. I'm quite proud of myself. :P
