From the day I thought up the idea, I use to talk my sister about the story I was writing. It’s been at least two years and I’m still only on an outline. Last month, I stopped telling my sister my new plot developments because I realized she wouldn’t be able to read it and tell me what I needed to change if she already knew what I planned on happening. The story has changed a lot. I’ve added and deleted characters, changed character personalities, and changed plot elements. Now I’m afraid that when I’m done, she won’t like what it has become! She was excited about the idea and whenever I used to tell her the new things I was adding in, she loved it and helped it grow. Her opinion on this means a lot to me.What do I do??
Update:I have written some pages. Sorry.

This is your idea. Not hers. You should not be afraid to work by yourself, after all it is your idea and your creative plan for the book. She can give you a bit of advice, but you should be the one in control of the final product.
Just keep writing :) Even if you changed it, either a lot or a little, I think she would still be proud with it. And even if she doesn't like what it's become, just remember it's your story and you're writing it. :D Good luck.
