Sometimes I feel like I'm completely in charge of a story, guiding it through the dangers that surround it until it comes out on the other side, safe and sound. Other times I feel like the story is pulling me along as I stumble on my feet, trying to keep up with a beast that has broken from the leash. But if one is the proper way of writing a story and the other the wrong, I have yet to determine which is which.
In the end, stories are like people...you must treat them each according their own disposition.
I don't often get metaphysical but I've always thought this is very interesting and reminds me of the Tibetan Tulpa concept.
