[stylist] do any other writers ever feel like this?

[Rowena Portch]

Many of my characters take on a life of their own—oftentimes to the point of having to restructure my plot-line to accommodate the characters new direction. 

I had one character in my last book that threw me for a loop when flip things around. I liked the new twist, but grieved over the character I had grown to love. 

That is why the saying, “Careful, or you’ll end up in my next novel,” is so popular, I think.

Hi All,
I was just curious about something.  Do you ever feel bad about a decision that you make in your story because it doesn't benefit a certain character? I know they're not real people, but in my head they are.
I feel like I just let a character of mine down, but in a way I also feel like I had to make that decision.  I know it's silly, and I bet as a writer it's totally normal...  but does anyone else ever feel this way?
