Over the years, I’ve learned that no matter how much I outline, my characters always have their own ideas of what should happen!

Even though I write a detailed outline, the story never follows it exactly. My characters always have their own ideas.

While I was starting my latest book, I had to scrap the opening scene because my characters had a completely different idea of how they wanted the story to begin. That said, they are behaving… for now.
