A Challenge

Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. ~George Orwell, "Why I Write," 1947

You know what really gets my juices flowing when it comes to writing? A challenge. Ever since the last rejection for "Stiller Creek", and despite the fact I'd all but decided to shelve it indefinitely, my brain starting mulling over all the comments (and they were many and varied -- I had no idea it was so awful, lol). And, I think I've come up with a couple of changes that would satisfy all the complaints without compromising the things I don't want to change based on the comments. I'm actually kind of excited by the idea. It will entail creating a whole new character and weaving this person quietly through the entire story. It may also entail the deletion of one of my favorite scenes... **sigh**... BUT, it should be a stronger story for all of that.

Yep, I do love me a good challenge.

You Think Creatively

Your brain works best when you let your intuition be your guide. You like to imagine, speculate, and fantasize. You have fun playing with ideas. You are interested in theories. You enjoy studying and developing them. You are drawn toward art, philosophy, and even math. Almost every subject is interesting to you.

How Do You Think?

Except for the part about philosophy and math, it's pretty close, though I would have called myself a logical thinker. ::shrugs::
