Here we go again...

You would think I'd get used to my characters taking off and messing up my plots, but each time they do I throw up my hands and walk away in frustration, then have to force myself to come back.

Keep writing, yeah. I am, but I think I have a headache right now. Time to switch to another story and let this one simmer a bit.

Characters are as bad as kids; never do what they're told...
