I’ve mentioned before how sometimes the characters surprise you. It’s happened again. There are a couple of new characters in the book. Jean and I know all about their background and history. The other characters do not…

Anyway, when these new characters began to interact with the regular cast, something unexpected happened. It’s like an entire little story line of its own.

We thought we had the entire story outlined, but now these two come along and want to shake things up.

We’re not sure where this is going yet, and it’s a little late in the book (we’re about 200 pages in) for an unanticipated plot line, but it’s their story, after all. We’re just along for the ride. So we’ll see where this goes.

Man, this is fun! Challenging, but fun.
