This has never happened to me before, as a writer, and I'm not sure what to do?

I have two characters who've developed together in my mind, and who I love. But I've no plot for them! Usually I build a plot and create characters to suit it, but this is the other way round. I've tried coming up with a plot for them to fit into, but I can't find one that needs two protagonists, and I'd really hate to separate my girls. What should I do?

Um... put the characters in a short story, so then you feel like they're already taken. Then think of a new plot with new characters and write that book. Then, in your next book, add the old character in.
I think that's one way to solve it. :/
Good Luck!

i like da kinds of stories that take on journeys...like a road trip, when they leave their regular lives to journey to new and different places and learn something new about themselves and each other....hmmmm

Sounds like a road trip story.

Don't think of the characters when you think of a story. Only have a story in mind. Once you have a story, fit the characters in.

Don't try to fit a story in with the characters. That usually gets a writer no where!

Good luck
