![]() by Karla Locke As writers, we oftentimes, channel our characters. It was Memorial Weekend and I was possessed, so much so, after two days of intensive writing, I was exhausted. Apparently my character had a lot to say that weekend. Worn out, I took a break, it was during that break when my character disappeared. Where she went, I have no idea. Not one peep did I hear from her for over two weeks. Then she snuck back, passing on small hints of what was going to happen next. Just little tidbits to tease me with. I am getting close to the end of book (hopefully, unless she changes her mind some more), and so I started thinking about the ending. I had an idea or two of what might happen, my character must have been close by and listening, because she informed me of the ending. It was then that I realized we must be getting close. Soon we will write – THE END.

I know this experience! In my case, a character who was supposed to provide a bit of texture took over the final third of a novel. She made it a far better book. Listen to your characters!
