Do you have runaway characters?

I thought I had a plan for my novel, plotted out 15 story beats, whole 9 yards. Then I started writing it, and my characters started making their own choices as I helplessly watched, screaming "what are you doing?!?!"

Do I need a therapist? Or is this normal?

@DanIsWriting There are 2 ways of writing, You're following the second. If you can make the story interesting with the characters making their own choices, then I'd go with that method. If not, you may have to recreate the character because your errant storyline is telling you the character you built would not do what you want them to do.

@TrueBloodNet I think it will work out, if not, thats what the delete key is for. 😆

Wouldn’t be the first time.
