me whining about making up two exams today for tomorrow's classes or nano whining? I didn't get much writing done thanks to those damn tests.

I'm curious, does this happen to people (original fic or in fan fic) when characters refuse to do what yuo tell them to or is this just me? The twins informed me of course they know Taz and Ben are werewolves. Lenore's sort of dating Ben after all and Ligeia wants to be an investigative reporter! Sigh.

Sometimes it's annoying, but sometimes the outcome can be better than what I'd planned in the first place.

This is true. That happens a lot as well. That's why I don't li ke writing out of sequence which I'm probably going to do for Nano because they will NOT leave me alone about this damn ending

Especially in orig fic and especially in conversations, you want them to talk about something, but they go off at a tangent....

Damn them to hell!!!!!!!!

it's comforting to know I'm not the only one.

Go with it, man, that's when the writing gets real.

have no fear of that. I usually go where they lead me

Oh yes my original and fandom characters inform me all of the time that they don't want to do things. Some characters are more insistant then others, depending on their personaility. You know the Jaya verse, she is constantly refusing to do things I want her to do. I swear writing her I vowed to never ever knowingly create a headstrong, rebellious character again.

It apparently seems to be a very common phenomenon, damn characters

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

What, you mean characters are actually supposed to pay attention to what you tell them to do? Have I been doing it wrong all this time?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

No apparently my expectations are eschew
