yhlee, a meme that looks like fun to me:
Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted [note: "posted" seems to be geared towards fanficcers, so let's go with "submitted to magazines"], the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
***Please do not use any titles you do not want me to seriously run with. I don't guarantee I will seriously run with anything. But this sort of thing sometimes makes my brain go and go.

difficult: Figuring out who her mystery road trip companion should be. I knew about the gas station food, I knew about the sandbags and the rains, but there was a big hole in the story that took forever to figure out: who would go road tripping with her? I knew it wasn't either of the other two, but for awhile I thought it might be Herakles and then had to rewrite the whole opening.

Date: 2009-09-23 07:33 am (UTC)Tell you a secret: in this case, like in all the others where I suggested stories, I took them out of my own "story ideas" list, where they've been languishing for years untouched. I rather feel like they are someone else's stories that found their way onto my list by accident, and I will be very happy if any of them prove to have matched up with their rightful owners.
