This picture sums up those times perfectly:

Yes, characters do talk to you. And sometimes you don't like what they say. Here's my most recent scenario...
Hero: Give me amnesia.
Me: What?
Hero: Don't have me remember meeting the heroine.
Me (off to google amnesia to see if it's actually plausible): There's something called retrograde amnesia, but that means you probably suffered brain damage. It's not going to work.
Hero: Come on. Would I lead you astray? Just try it.
Me (after writing ten pages of a hero with amnesia): I told you it wouldn't work.
Hero: No worries. I'm still a hottie and you love me.
Me: Sigh...
And then there's always the brainstorming an idea part of a writer's life. I found this clip on the Pink Heart Society blog and thought it was hilarious.
Okay, back to the story! I've fallen behind in my reading once again. It always happens when I start a new manuscript. What are you reading right now?

good luck with your writing. Tell your hero you know how it's going to end and let you give the directions.
I'm reading Out of Time by Samantha Graves.
LOL.... at least you have voices. I think, as a writer, NOT having voices would be worse.
What am I reading? The Concordia of School Forms.
Good luck with your book!! Keep those voices coming.
I am reading Robin Lee Hatcher's book Wagered Heart, good read by the way.
LOVE the video!!! It's so true!!! Or not. *g*
Characters can be SO bossy.
I'm reading Catnapped by Gabriella Herkert. *g* It's cute!
Tell your hero you're the BOSS. *G*
I hope you're having a wonderful day.
I just finished Change of Heart and started Songs of the Humpback Whale - both by Jodi Picoult. I've enjoyed all her books.
Oh my. That clip. That's how my life is going! Only it's students and classmates and bosses and admin. It's enough to make a girl cry.
Hero talking to you!
That was funny!
I am reading old Carole Mortimer books I bought at a bargain!
Reading an ARC from Kendra Leigh Castle called "Dark Highland Fire".
And, yeah... voices... constantly.
