My characters are now stealing my story and changing the entire plot.
My Captain decided he wanted to be female, and wanted nothing to do with her post as an officer of the royal army, the random kid I threw in became a prince and royal air to two thrones, my annoying friend became an awesome pirate ninja, my girl decided she was marrying the character I hated, & has 7 children, and the secondary character I had as a slave-trader became a Lord who holds a lot of power with the certain shady characters.
How in the world did this happen! they threw out my plot and came up with an extremely political one which works so much better. My main grievance is that they are so much smarter and know how to push my buttons, its like arguing with Joanna, & fremlog combined with Chrs, Frem never argues unless he knows he right and thus always wins (he is also a bit more experienced), Chrs is logical and knows when she’s right, she can also reason with people a bit more, and Joanna…….. just knows the right buttons to push. I can’t believe I actually made up these characters from my siblings, not all of them, just my favorite characters. I must really admire my siblings, granted I only put in the characteristics I wish I had.
I only wish they weren’t so good at having their way – Sarah
