Ah, well... It can be annoying when your story runs away with you, but it's all about being able to keep it on a leash and on the track you meant-ish. I like that sometimes my characters decide on a scene because of how I made them. When *who* they are determines that something has to happen *this way*. It makes them feel more real to me, since they have a personallity and sort of argue back at me. They're big people now. I'm their maker, not their momma. :P ^^
Lol, I do that too. Sometimes I'll be sitting at the computer and my sister or my mother will sometimes ask what's wrong. Indeed. My usual scene plays out. "What's wrong?" "Oh, um... It's okay, i just killed someone." "O.o" ... "Just so we're clear, you're writting right now." "Nah. I just ordered a hit online with my negative account balance. Duh."
XD I feel your pain. When I try to explain a music genre, for instance, when I'm telling someone about a band they don't know, I tend to compare. "It's got a 60's feel to it." or "It could sound like Sum 41, but the singer is more like Billie Joe Armstrong (GreenDay)" or "It's like Evanescence started singing like Gojira" (which is a total improve for exemple purposes and sounds... interesting?).
