When Characters Come Alive

I'm at the part of writing my novel where my main characters have reconnected and it's obvious they are still in love.  I'm rooting for these two crazy kids to work it out but there's so much baggage from the past, and so many reasons why they really shouldn't be together.

Yeah, I know their fates are in my hands, but the more these two people come to life on paper the less I actually feel I control the outcome. Each day I wake up sorta knowing where the plot needs to go, but I never really know how my characters are going to respond until they tell me.

YES, I hear them talking in my head. YES, I just sit back and write what they tell me. YES, I'd be considered crazy if I wasn't a writer. Or maybe being a writer of fiction is the same as being crazy.

Whatever, I need to get back to the story. I can't wait to see what these two crazy kids are going to do and say next.
