I used to think I never wanted to write without at least a vague idea of what was going to happen in mind, but now I'm not so sure. For some of my favourite things I've written, I had no idea what the story was even about until I finished, and I still don't know what some of my stories are supposed to be. Sometimes, though, sometimes I think it works better that way.
So I suppose I don't ever want to try and force anything, not characters, not plot. I have to let them grow into themselves and tell me what they want to be, not the other way around.
