The best of intentions

I’m working with a character who has been on the backburner for months and months. It is nice to write her again. She’s one of those characters that seems to shift the whole story around when I’m writing her. She’s a major player but compared to the others her personality is so light and charming and funny. My other characters take themselves far too seriously — and they’re dealing with life and death stuff. I write their stories and I sometimes think this book could be a very serious kind of book, but then this character pops up again and she’s got other plans. The book transforms …
Now I wonder what kind of book am I writing that it can shift and change so easily. Well the short answer is: I don’t know. Another short answer: I don’t care. Third short answer: first draft. We shall see.
What kind of book are you writing? Is it the book you thought it was or is it different?
