....You're going to end up somewhere else.
-Yogi Berra.
Wrote the ending of my story (or at least Book 1), and realized that this Yogi-ism is as true for writing as anything else. Now, I need to create and add in an new character to give my main character a the skills to have snowballs chance at survival.
Because my poor servant, peasant born MC ends the story having to fake being nobility....
This is why letting your characters misbehave and act out is a good thing, they make a much more interesting story that way.
I already know how to fit them in, but this helps. I had the MC, the Villain and a couple other characters, but still felt like I was missing people to create a more vibrant story, but I wanted to avoid adding 'Villager 1', 'Villager 2', 'Soldier 1', 'Merchant 1', ect just to fill in the space.
