I used to not talk about my stories...So true Jeffe. I used to not talk about my stories out of fear of someone stealing them. I know, stupid. But this was 5-6 years ago when I first started writing and I thought I had all these unique, one of a kind ideas. Yeah, I've gotten real since then. Only my voice & style make my stories different, not the plot. <br /><br />Since then, I've grown cautious of sharing because, like you mentioned, it seems to kill the excitement & love for the story. After having a few new ideas attacked when I wasn't at the stage to properly defend every nuance, plot hole, & character weakness has taught me to remain mum a bit longer now.<br /><br />I have a CP I can share early ideas with because she's an expert at helping me develop my idea without killing my love for it. She asks the tough questions & lets me have it, but is all geared to smooth the idea out.<br /><br />And I so remember that whole "shaken baby syndrome" convo. :-)<br />La-Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658551442881738907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-35111802349790367852013-03-10T15:26:47.128-04:002013-03-10T15:26:47.128-04:00Thanks Veronica!
