No Control - Author Tip #1

5/31/2015

People are often confused when I tell them I have no control over my characters. Inevitably they say something like, "But you made them up..." I really did not make them up. They come to me wanting friendship or someone to tell their story or both. So here is my advice for the week:

Don't try to control your characters. If they rebel, let them, the story will be way more interesting. 

This one is especially hard for planners who like to have detailed outlines. Deviation may seem hard but I'm telling you the characters know better. 

Keep on Creating,
