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 Without revealing too much, I had a sidekick to the main character take on a life of her own. Her role grew and grew until I had to figure out a way to put her into 2 other books. I even found myself imagining a whole series just about her.
Since this is happening to you, I think you're right where you need to be. Enjoy the ride!

@WriterTaylor that sounds amazing. I'm sure that added a lot of depth to your story.
