Character Ramblings

Have you ever heard an author talk about how his characters run away from him, or how he doesn't really know what's going to happen next?

It's true.

Jo and I were talking in depth about this last night. My characters have surprised me going the way they're going. Tabitha, who I always thought of as down to earth, reserved, and calm, has morphed into an emotional control freak. It's really weird. But as events happen, her character has reacted to them in a way that I didn't (or couldn't) really anticipate.

I wrote up character profiles on all my characters a while back and discovered that one of my characters has absolutely no flaws. She's completely perfect. Hmm... this could be a problem, as a perfect person is somewhat unrealistic. I'm still wondering what kind of flaws can be worked into her character.

I gotta go to bed. I'm desperately in need of more sleep. Maybe more on this later. I just had to post SOMEthing.
