Summary

This quote suggests that when characters in a story are well-developed and alive in the author's imagination, the author's role becomes more passive. The author simply follows the characters' lead, allowing them to guide the plotline, dialogue, and the situations they find themselves in. Instead of forcing the characters to fit into a preconceived storyline, the author surrender control and allows the characters to dictate the direction of the narrative. It implies that truly vibrant and authentic characters can take on a life of their own within the story, transcending their creator's intentions.
