Nine years ago this week, a number of things swirling through my life coalesced into one story. The story, if I'm being honest. The story I have to write, the story I have to finish. It's not done. I thought it was: I've finished four drafts of it. I've half-written three others. I'm working on my fifth revision.
I know a lot of people would have drawer/trunk/closet-ed it by now. That's what all the 'advice' is when something isn't working. And I've left it alone for months, sometimes more than a year, to work on other projects. I've finished other novels, started even more, in the time I've been working on this story. But it keeps resurfacing in my mind, demanding my attention-- with good reason.
A couple months ago Amelia asked me which of my stories was my favorite. I answered without hesitation: Arion. That's not the title anymore, but it's his story. It's also Isis's. And Mordecai's. Josephine's and Celestia's. And mine.
It's the story I have to write. Nine years later, I think I finally have the chops to do it. I knew I didn't back then, but I had to write it anyway. And I might still be wrong. It could take me another year, maybe even more, to get it right.
But I'm going to get it right.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Makes you feel even crazier than the average writer sometimes, doesn't it...
Hehe. Yes. Definitely.

I have no doubt you can do it.
I wonder why, though? What makes this story more special to you?
BW is more a book of my heart than GAROLASS was, but I'm not sure I could articulate why. It felt very joyful to write, and I knew it was right in some sort of deep-down certain way.
What makes this story more special to you?
I have a number of theories, but, uh, they probably won't be posted here ;-)
I knew it was right in some sort of deep-down certain way.
Yes. This is how I feel working on TTOB; like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I just have to find the right way to tell it.
Sounds like love ;)
*cheshire grin* You are, indeed, stubborn. If this is your rock, then you must keep rolling it up the hill.
As you know, Bob(ette), the Book of My Heart will probably never see the light of day. I didn't have the chops to write it way back *mumblemumble* years ago and I'm not sure I do now. But I've also discovered there can be many books of the heart and thank dog UNNATURALISTS is one of those. :)
