Losing the plot

I added just shy of 500 words to the ghost story yesterday but am running into my perennial problem, which is that the main characters have upped sticks and wandered off with the plot. They're taking it in directions I really didn't want to go, and getting further and further away from any possible smut. As I'm now about a third of the way through the maximum allowed word count, I'm starting to hit my head against the wall. Get back on track, dammit! Stop doing this to me!

LOL No, don't worry, I'm not completely insane - I'm told lots of writers talk to their own characters. ;)
