The Character is Always Right...

So I have a new character, kind of. I had come up with the idea for him a few months ago, decided his character wouldn't work and got rid of him all in a period of 30 minutes. But he's forced his way back now and I decided to let him in since he wants a role so bad. The funny thing is, now that he's in the story, all these half finished dialouges are being continued and millions of puzzle pieces are coming together. This causes him to gloat quite a bit, but it's worth it.

Novel Update

I am so psyched right now. I've gotten to some interesting points in my novel where 1) it's less making up what happens and more following through events in a logical course based on what's already been established, and 2) tons of stuff keeps clicking together in new mind boggling ways. Things have started making more sense because of these two things which makes me very very happy, despite how much rewriting it's caused.
So just an update. I'm thinking about posting my "character ringtones" soon, if I can finish going through all my music looking for the songs. Hannah has most of hers done while I don't even think Adelene or Tyler have any. Oh, well.

Refusing to be an Extra

Hello, once again Internet people,
So, I was writing along, working on a scene that had a few extras who were just there for not much more of a purpose than to prove that one of my main characters had friends, and one of them decided that she had a back story and was influential to the plot. It's one of those fun and frustrating things as a writer because you have to rework plot areas to fit this new puzzle piece, but it's so great to have someone new to work with.
