you! sometimes you are thinking they will do one thing and then while you are writing all of a sudden they are doing something else and you sit back, staring at the screen and say, “huh. why did you do that? that messes up everything!” and it’s kind of amazing. like they are alive and you have to try to keep up with them. so, you start writing again and try to get them out of whatever they just got themselves into. it’s my favorite part of writing.
