Fickle

I might be the most fickle author ever. I've changed the story I'm writing yet again. Started over, fresh, anew, again.

I've decided to view this as finding myself as a writer. I've been trying too hard, I think, to write what I hope will sell rather than writing what I will truly enjoy writing.

I think - maybe, hope? - I've got something going now that will go somewhere. So far, it is. It's working; the characters are creating themselves as much as I'm creating them. The plot just came to me - well, as much of it as I have at the moment.

I'm not forcing it, and I think that's key.

There's a blog post here at "Good Girls Kill for Money" that talks a little about forcing it and listening to your gut when something just isn't right, isn't working.

On a total other note, does anyone else tend to type "write" when they mean "right"? I do it constantly...
