Go with the flow
It’s the one thing as a writer you have to be able to do. You might start a story with one expectation but it goes where it wants too. If you don’t learn to adapt then the story can stall on you. That stall can be time consuming and will not let the story go forward. If you try to force something it won’t happen. This is true in anything you do.
Things are ever changing and sometimes beyond your control. What you do with the unexpected is up to you. When things flow one way you can choose to flow on that path or a different one. But ultimately in the end there is no right or wrong way to flow it is what is the best way to you. I’ve had a few things a going on in my story – a flow that I am going with. And so far I am pleased with the ay it is going. I’m sure before I am done with this book I will have a few other flows I go with. That is half of the fun.

That is really good advice McKenna! I have been having some trouble with a story I am working on, and after reading your post, I realize its because I am trying to force the story to go one way and it wants to go another. So now I will try going with the flow and see what happens!!

I think that’s great advice for writers and in everything in life as well.
The story sounds intriguing and I’d love to read it and see where these two end up.
