Re: Re: My characters are doing things I didn't expect
This was brilliant - just what I needed. I stumbled a bit last night having fallen out of favour with one of my characters. When I woke this morning I realised his motives just weren't credible so I did exactly what you suggested. I interviewed him to find out why at so young an age he wanted to get married and had not told his girlfrield something that he should have done. And it all came tumbling out - so now I'm letting him continue down this path, even though last night I was debating scrapping the whole chapter becaese it didn't seem believable.

I have since decided that to even consider scrapping a chapter during NaNo is tantamount to insanity but I really felt THAT lost with him.

I'm very glad to have 'found' him again!
