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

[Miss Thea]

Hi, Rowena.
Yup, yup, yup. Know all about that.
Or worse, I've started a novel and gotten a few chapters written, then the 
characters fade and die.
Maybe the writing was supposed to be therapeutic in nature, rather than for 
public consumption.
Still, a girl has to make a living somehow. LOL
Oh, those fickle characters, cruel mistresses all. LMBO

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?
