There was one ...I tend to argue with my characters. There was one that insisted she was going to die at the end of the book, while I wanted her to live. So I decided I was going to kill her annoying sister, but she endeared herself to me and enticed me with a sequel. So i decided I was going to kill the shady PI, who I didn't like at all. Then he made both me and my protagonist fall in love with him. However, I had sworn on Twitter that I would kill him, so I did. And then I cried. <BR/><BR/>But that's just one example. I get so tired of them and their lives and their stupid behavior, I nearly force them to be sensible. Or stop writing the story until I feel like dealing with their emotional turmoil again. <BR/><BR/>:DS.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10637012429541938128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-12865451899819106032009-02-22T23:47:00.000-05:002009-02-22T23:47:00.000-05:00Oh mine are all quite feisty.

When I want to sleep, they talk to me. When I want them to answer, they ignore me. They act like my children and refuse to behave. They are ornery, but loving. Stubborn, but giving. They are so many things.<BR/><BR/>You know I've had issues with naming characters and keeping them in check. I no longer try to. I go where they lead.Nicole Irelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164201909384064031noreply@blogger.com
