When Characters Change Everything?
One of my favorite things in the writing process is when my characters change the whole plot. When a story pops into my head I will have a general idea how I like the plot to go. The main male character is a driving force on how the plot usually begins. He is the first character to get fully developed. I don't know why this is, it just is. I guess it's part of my creative process. Then his love interest starts to take shape. I think I have a pretty good idea how the story should flow. Yet, when the characters start to interact the whole storyline will change, sometimes slightly, sometimes quite dramatically.
I love at the end of a writing day when I say to myself, wow I wasn't expecting that. This lets me know that the characters have full control of the story. Sounds a bit weird, yet it is quite wonderful when that happens.
This is not to say when everything follows the original idea isn't a good thing either. Because sometimes the plot goes along the way I originally planned even after the characters interact with each other. Either way, I want the reader to laugh, cry and love along with the characters. I want my readers to feel my stories and the characters in each of them.
Yet, it is fun when the characters change everything in a storyline. It keeps me on my toes. I had a very strict outline for "Guilty Pleasure", but the characters had other ideas. The story ended way different than I planned and I loved that it did.
