Should I be listening to all these voices?

| No Comments

Or...all the voices in my head aren't pretty.

Someone named Katie wants to be Cassie's twin. I'm keeping these notes (via this blog) to possibly use later, but I am trying to figure out who to listen to.

The idea of Cassie and Katie being twins is making me slightly uncomfortable. Is that discomfort a good thing or a bad thing? At what point do I say, "Stop! I don't know who you are, and I am writing about Cassie!"

But then, last year, Darci didn't exist until November 2 and showed up insisting that I write even though I had already decided not to participate in NaNo after all. I was skeptical, but she carried my plot forward ten chapters and then even appeared again in the last chapter to light a fire under my protagonist's butt. What if I had ignored her?

Or should I just see a therapist about these voices in my head?
