fighting with your characters
cabybakes:
Most recently, I almost gave Quinn in Casual an eating disorder...I had it written and everything but I deleted it. I want to finish the story and if that nonsense was in there, it would be another gazillion chapters to go! I am fighting back now...I will finish this story in 5 chapters and if the characters try to mess with my plan, I'm going to jack them up :)

LOL aww! I know i've been really good with staying at least three chapters ahead of myself for Lurks but because of the end of thos last chapter I haven't been able to move on because the characters want me to go one way but I want to go another. Now i'm only two chapters ahead!

That sounds like a good call. You could always save the eating disorder thing for another story. Sometimes you gotta just know when enough is enough in the drama department (LOL speaking from experience) and let go. It feels good to finish a story you've been working on that long! Congrats on being so close; you're almost there!
cabybakes:
Thanks, Julie...and good for you, Mare! I am hoping to get a little bit of the inspiration that seems to be in the water and do some writing tomorrow. Hopefully, the characters will cooperate!

Good luck with getting your characters to do what you want them to do :)
