Favorite among many

[Empathy]

I guess you could argue the that the heart of each story comes from the effort and dedication given to the story by the author. In a circumstance where an author is working on more than one or possibly several stories at once. Which story is it that really has the authors heart. Each story will have some meaning to author of course but is it possible for an author to "be in love" with more than one story?

 

I'm working on several stories at the moment and while one story may have went over pretty well with the readers and another may be easier to write; only one holds the place of being my favorite piece of work. The story that I love writing, the story I love progressing and even sometimes get caught up in the story as I write it. I enjoy all the stories I write but there is only one that I love.

 

 

Your thoughts...

I've written numerous short stories while working on a novel, but I've only had one period of time when I was working on two novels at once, and I won't do that again.

 

I found that the stories were sufficiently different that I couldn't do alternate chapters (like I originally intended). The mindshift required between the two stories was too high. Instead, I'd two or three chapters of one, then jump back to the other. I was "in love" with what ever story I was working on at that particular time -- whichever one that was.

 

I don't this is what you were looking for, but it's all I can offer.

I don't post my writing here because I am shy, but I still would like to know: What do you mean by "the heart of each story?" I am confused. From what I quoted from your post above, I only understand that "the heart of each story" to mean 'the story I enjoy working on the most and am most dedicated to because of my love for that story.' Anyway, I don't mean to be picky, but I am confused by the definition I see here and would like to know what you mean.

 

See you.

Actually I can see that the title doesn't connect well with the contents. Really I was just looking for something a little more catchy than, "what do you think?"

Hey,

 

Yes, I do have my favorite story to work on. It's the one that causes me the most writer's block though as I want it to be perfectly the way I have it thought out in my head. Which is terribly difficult to write sometimes.

 

I work on a lot of stories though. The most Criticized and Talked about stories will be the ones updated only because I run on, Enthusiasm. My enthusiasm doesn't come from how much I love the story. If it did then my favorite would be completed by now.
