A lesson in Adaptation
Finally, I'm writing the book I have wanted to write for sometime now. Have dusted it off the shelf where it has been percolating for several years now. What's frustrating is it's apparrent that I should have written it several years ago. Now instead of writing offensively I find myself doing defensive writing. I'm constantly changing details, characters personalities, abilities, because I realize that I am not the only one with my ideas. For example, my title has already been changed and it seems that I may be in search of a new one, since a new book will to hit the shelves in 2011 by the same name. I feel like a twin looking for her own identity. Hopefully, I will be able to find mine. There's something I've learned in this process. I know how to adapt.

Your book will be far far better than the current knock offs! It is hard to guess the next big thing. If only I had remembered to trademark the little yellow circle with two dots for eyes...or pet rocks!
ReplyDeleteKeep at it Urania. Your plot line is really amazing. A thousand times better than a lot of stuff on the shelves.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE the only one with your ideas, actually. It's just a few details here and there. Just keep your characters engaging as they are, readers won't be able to help themselves.
ReplyDeleteDamn right you have dusted it off! It rocks so far!!! No worries about other titles just write your story!
