gwynnegaMe: You're not having sex in this chapter of the novel.
Novel Characters: What.
Me: You had sex five times in the last three chapters, which was five more times than I'd originally planned.
Novel Characters: Your original plan sucked. You must admit, our way is much better.

Novel Characters: You just keep telling yourself that.
Protagonist: Oh, by the way, I'm not nearly as heterosexual as I originally thought.
Me: That shouldn't surprise me. Almost none of my novel protagonists turn out to be as heterosexual as they think.
Protagonist: Yay!
