Progress

Today I'm supposed to blog about the progress I've made with my writing. Unfortunately not much has been made. I'm constantly thinking about the plot but I can't seem to get it to come out like I want it on paper. I'm so organized in my work life but in my writing life my characters and my plot won't let me be organized. And it's driving me nuts!! I want it to go one way but they want it to go a different way. And I can't seem to figure out how to make it go the way they want it to go. Of course, that's probably just my control issues coming out. If I'd let them go and just write what they want instead of having to think it all through first, then it would probably be a much better story.

How on earth do you pantsers let go?!?
