4k woot! Though we're coming to the end of the introductions of my 12 (yes, really) main characters, and I have no idea what's going to happen after that. I thought I might have known, but with the way this thing is going, maybe I ought not to try to think ahead anymore.

Along those lines, and in reference to the "my characters are not who they're supposed to be" I mentioned yesterday, my Herald/Bard/Lorekeeper - who is supposed to be a tall, slightly overweight, brown-haired man in his early 30's - just showed up. And apparently is now a short woman in her late 40's. Also I think she might be black. Maybe Hispanic, I'm not sure. But I'm starting to get an "ethnic" vibe from her and that's kind of terrifying because I don't want to offend anyone by writing a person of color incorrectly. Oh dear.

I still don't have a title but am now considering "Who Are These Characters And What Have They Done With My Plot?" (flimsy though said "plot" might have been).
