I sat down to write out a scene this morning and the characters started misbehaving all over the place. I couldn't control them. Every time I tried to force one back into his or her role, another started to act up. This went on for quite a while and then I let them just do whatever they wanted. They were happier for the freedom I gave them, but I have no idea what to do with the scene anymore. I doubt I will end up using this material, but I think it's important to let the characters dictate their own actions. The scenes and conflicts are more honest when the emotions and actions come from the characters and not the writer.
I just hope that they got all of that craziness out of their system. I have work to do. :)
