and another one’s gone and another one’s gone…out the door. Winging it’s way to NYC. Wish me luck. I love this story…
Now on to another proposal. For Super this time. I like this story too, but I’m not at the point where I LOVE it. I’m not far enough into the characters’ heads just yet. I have to really write a bit, throw out some, write some more, change their names, etc, etc…until I really can start to LOVE what I’m writing. 
When do you fall in love with your story and your characters? At the thinking /pre writing stage? After 3 chapters? When you’re headed to the finish line? Do you LOVE what you write? (well, except for those days when you’re sure it’s all crap? 
)

Good luck. I know it’s a great story.
Most days I still think it’s all crap but I’m getting better…:roll:
It depends. I’ve had stories I fell in love with right out of the box. Others had to grow on me. Sometimes they don’t ever grow on me. Sometimes I love one element and hate another.
I generally fall in love with my story/characters in the really early stages. Before things get too hard
, like the sagging middle 
.
Good luck with your proposal :-)
I usually love the characters right from the idea stage, that’s what gets me excited about the story. And yes, I do usually love what I write in the end, although it seems there’s always room for improvement!
Yay on your proposal!!
As for the falling in love, I pretty much do that with all my heroes – the heroines have to grow on me. I think I always have to love the characters in general though – the plot stuff always drives me nuts.
Good luck on the proposal, Kacey!!
I have to be really eager about the characters and storyline to begin it, then as I work past the three chapters, I start to fall in love (hopefully!) because if I don’t, it’s just a chore to write it.
Good luck, Kacey!!!
Some stories I love right away. Others I love the characters, but the story takes me longer to warm up to.
Way to go, Kacey! Getting it out the door is a BIG accomplishment!
I usually love my story from the get go – if I don’t, I can’t write it. Now whether I stay in love with the story or not is another question!
Congrats on mailing!
I usually love my stories from the get-go, then I re-read them and figure out that they’re garbage. Then I rewrite them until I find the diamond amid all the mess. :crazy2:
I think I have to love a story to start writing it.
Wahoo! Congrats and Good luck!
It’s fleeting and irregular. lol Good luck with the proposal. Where did this one head? And good luck on the Super story too. I really want you to join me there. All about me, you know.
