Indeed; one would think it represented the success of the creative process.

Is it cold in here?:
It might be cool to have a Marten loose in your mind doing whatever he wanted, but that wouldn't be as fun if it were Pintsize.

Ozymandias:
If "Jeph" were an electable position, I vote for Graham any day.

Sorflakne:
This thread confuses me.  I thought the mark of a good story was one where the characters acted in a natural fashion and making their own way without the author trying to "nudge" them to a particular path.

snubnose:
Well, no.

Usually the author knows exactly where its going, and only creates an illusion of everything being natural.

To be able to make the story go as it goes naturally is a certain kind of luxury professional writers usually do not have.
