I especially love glimpsing future scenes, getting deeper into their thoughts and testing how they'll react to situations.

But I might have a person already waiting in the wings for the right story, and they come together. Glad your person finally tiptoed out of the wings. Enjoy the dance!

I can't write if a central character is missing, just won't happen. And bring on the "wierd" I say! Gotta love those characters!

They appear one day, and start telling me what they want me to do, and what they want me do with them. Writing can be a weird experience, especially when your characters take over the story and start to write it for you. I’m a follower when it comes to my characters.

I knew you were excited about this story, and so thrilled it didn't disappoint. I've never had the entire story figured out like that, but that's typical pantser. "It's one of those miracle things," as a character of mine once said. Be sure and thank the Universe for that one. Maybe there's another one just around the bend too. You go! :smile: Wow, Marcia, too cool! I knew you were excited about this story, and so thrilled it didn’t disappoint.

Yeah, I think there is. Remember those scenes in movies, where the guy and gal are barely moving, but they're so close a whisper couldn't get through? Hey, not a bad place to be when you put it that way. :lol: Hey Spy, too funny! Yeah, I think there is.
