In Love

 Every story is your brain child, and you love them all or you wouldn't take the time to go through growing pains and help them to adulthood. 

When I'm asked, "Which is your favorite?" I say, "A mother can't have favorites--that wouldn't be fair!"

I have to admit, my current WIP is so thoroughly enjoyable to write each day that this mother might change her stance on favortism--at least where my fiction is concerned.

For the first time I am stepping into a paranormal element. Some fantasy. It's been libertating to start doing something, stop myself, then say, "Wait! I can do that!"

I've retitled the project, and am getting used to the feel of it now. Like renaming a child. For nine months before our last child was born we all called him Joshua. Then he was born. He wasn't Joshua. For two days we sat in the hospital staring at him trying to figure out WHO he was. It takes getting used to when you change a title but I think the new one fits just right.

If you're an author, do you have favorites? have you changed you titles?

Writing my first manuscript was the most fun because I didn't have that internal editor thing going on. Now I can't shut it off.

I have changed the titles of two of my stories, but it probably doesn't mean much because I've heard that publishers will rename it anyway...

Every story I have ever written began its life with a different title. Usually by the time I'm done the ms, the first title no longer seems to fit, or I think of something I like better.
