I’m in a tough spot for the last two days.  I have a couple of characters who just aren’t “writing well.”  I’ve written most of the book, and it’s coming up short.  That’s far from saying the book is complete.  I have a few characters who are coming across pretty flat.  For the last two days, those characters have been telling me about how I haven’t quite “gotten” them.  They’ve shifted to first person, and, frankly, they’re frustrated with their author, and they’re telling her where she’s gotten them wrong.  This will be enormously helpful during re-write.
