That was Elizabeth's question to me ... two weeks ago, because I've been a bad girl and not blogged for ages :(
The quick answer to that is, no. I have a beginning planned, and I usually have up to three endings planned, and then I have a few key points in the middle planned, and I leave everything else up to chance, and occasionally the things that I have planned will change. But I love writing this way. For me, it gives the characters the best chance possible to grow. The downside is that sometimes the blurb has to change - a total pain when you've already made promo materials! But hey, it makes all the stuff that little bit more exclusive :)
And speaking of characters and stories, I have some awesome stuff happening right now over Halloween:
