Writing Update 4-1-12

I should write my passion.  I think that's key.

I've been working on four stories at the same time, and getting little writing done.  I think that strategy is not working very well.  I think I should go back to writing just one story at a time.  It's a good thing I haven't started the Cody story yet.  I would love to be able to write four or five stories at the same time and get them finished.  But that's just not working for me.

"Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes" was the first of the four stories that I started working on.  I think I'll go back to just working on that story. Get it finished, and go on to the next story like maybe "The Whole Truth".  "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes", "The Whole Truth", and "Grace Song" all need to be finished.  "Little Sister" is a finished story that I had started to completely revise.

Speaking of "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes".  I was thinking that this story was going to be a novella.  Now I'm thinking maybe not.  It's possible that I may have started this story about three years too early.  I know I have a tendency to start my stories either a little too early or way too early.  Something that I need to remind myself to do is to look at where my passion really is in the story idea.  Wherever my passion is that's where the story itself really is.  I should write my passion.  Where is my passion in "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes"?  It's the ending.  Oh.

So I'll be working on "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes" only for now until it's finished.  I think I'll print out what I've already written, and then I'll start the story at the "ending".  I hope that makes sense.
