As a writer you have to go with changes even if maybe it is not exactly what you wanted to write.
For instance, just tonight I had a chapter pop up that I had no idea it would happen but it worked out kinda of. It took a mind of it's own and I will have to rework it later but still if it never would of happened it really would not back up the previous chapter. It glued it together.
Other times, a random character pops up and you go 'what the heck, where did you come from' I like when that happens even if the character will get the axe in the next draft, it helps me learn.
In this instance tonight, I have not written very much these past few days giving that it was the weekend. So I will take anything that I can get and if that means a few unscheduled chapters or scenes then I am more then okay with it.
What do you guys do with unscheduled things in your novels? I just power through it and leave it unless it really has nothing to do with moving my novel along then it gets chopped up but I've noticed for me a lot of the time it's a good piece.
Sorry for the shorter post. Trying to get it in before other things.
Until next time! Happy Writing!
