The sequel to Sarah's Choice is giving me pause. I can't quite seem to come up with an ending I like. It's more challenging to me than the first book which seemed to flow like wine from a well aged bottle. But all writers encounter passages that challenge them. And who says I don't love a challenge?
It might be my personal life thats getting in the way. I'm still looking for that Mr. Right, but finding Mr. "no way in hell". Perhaps putting down the desire cup for awhile will make me thirst enough to finish my book.
I'll give it a try.
Be well all.

Congratulations Kimberley on the publication of your book. (BTW what is its Title?)
You are describing something that authors have argued about for a long time. Do you control your characters or do they control you?
I know that that's a very simplified position and as you rightly point out that to force a character down a line that would be not within their normal behaviour can diminish the believability of the character, yet it could also enrich and deepen the character to make her more complex and contradictory like most people.
Another thought is that you could use a supporting character to lead them to that place where they would never go on their own. Just some thoughts.
Thank you Tony. I appreciate your insights.
