OMG I'm Sorry
Michelle told me yesterday that she was going to have the words "Oh My God! I'm sorry" put on my gravestone. We were laughing because I complain so much about my rewrites that she finally rolled her eyes at me and said "I can see it now. You're freaking out because an agent asked for a resub. Then, the agent will get you a book deal and you'll freak out 'cause you don't have a revised manuscript. THEN, you'll freak out 'cause you'll have a deadline for a three book deal. This is never ending, isn't it?"
I started laughing and told her she was right. She loves to hear that anyway. She is Hobbes to my Calvin. The voice of reason in my occasional insanity. Her ex-boyfriend gave me a great villian and her work life gives me something else to think about besides potty training, Candyland and poopy diapers. So, you can all have a good laugh because my best friend finds my writing facinating.....like a root canal. Too bad. She has to suffer. Of course, she'll be the one who tells people magazine when I get famous that I can belch my own name. She has way too much dirt on me. LOL.
I got A TON done on "Hidden Grief". I'm attempting to find a different name for the thing since "Hidden Grief" makes me cringe. "Tangled Trust" "Revenge's Daughter" and "A Legacy Of Trust" are all possibilities. We'll see. I've been able to finish two and a half chapters (about 29 pages) some of which is completely different from the original and some is the same. Michelle says this is much better. She's a Stephen King fan so she finds my stuff to "romantic". Oh well.
Hope the weekend is productive.
Question for you. Do names for stories (or songs) just "come to you" or do you have to really work at it?
