That's five?

I got 4 or more stories running around in my head at any given time, which means I don't finish any of them overly fast, but I never get so board with any given manuscript to completely abandon it, either.Rebecca Gillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341836304924085727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-27526707119396973922010-08-16T12:01:36.050-05:002010-08-16T12:01:36.050-05:00Oh, Pat, the joys and agonies of writing. When I w...Oh, Pat, the joys and agonies of writing. When I wasn't published, it was so much more free-wheeling. It seems I write too slow for the e-market. But, whatever...<br />Yeah, I can switch back and forth unless one story is burning a hole through my brain and is demanding to be written. <br />I got a hot story idea over the weekend. I want to get the basics down before I lose the inspiration. <br />Of course, I didn't have promo interrupting me, either. Before pubbing. That definitely helped with writing. <br />Oh, and I love revisiting my heroines and heroes and their worlds. However, then I have to switch mind tracks... sort of like vacationing to another country with an entirely different culture. <br />I so want to get back to Kandy. But the story, where it is now, takes a certain kind of focus I can't give it at the moment. Though, when I can get back to it, I'll read the latest chapter which needs some revision and editing. That will put me back into that world. <br />However, I really want to get this 5,000 short word story done that I started, first. <br />I find that once I get a story completed, if I begin another story, and work on it for awhile, I can go back with fresh eyes to make revisions and do edits easier. I know this works for some authors. They'll get a first draft done, work on another story, then go back and polish. <br />I rarely get worn out over the characters and my world. I do get worn out when I'm doing the fine-tune editing stuff, because it gets so darn tedious, at times.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
