My Characters Surprise Me

I was wriring in longhand yesterday and my characters took another direction and stepped up.  Made the story take a turn for the better.  I never would of thought of that twist if I didn't let my characters do what they wanted to.  So I am happy with the new twist and I think that it will make a better story.

Do you let your characters go in different directions or do you stick to your outline????

I have an outline but I am willing to change it if new ideas are better. I know how the story starts and how the story ends, but as I write I do try to be flexible, as long as I am still working to the end that I have already planned.

Write in longhand or on the computer it is your choice as long as you write.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
