I was trying to write a romance novel once where this woman had moved back to her hometown and found the best friend she hadn't spoken to in years. He wanted to start something, she didn't. I told her to get with the program or I was going to kill her off and let her little sister be my main female character. She said I didn't have the guts so I shot her and threw her into a landfill. The rest of my characters straightened right up. LOL
