There are definite advantages to writing comprehensive character maps, but one downside that I've found is that when a character is fully fleshed out, she/he tries to take on a life of her/his own and sometimes this can be to the detriment of the story that I have carefully plotted. When a character in my (_my_, gosh-darned it!) story wants to do one thing and I want her/him to do something else, how should I handle the situation?
