I do love it. And I'm busy enough that yet takes me a long time to get back to them. Then they're like new stories I've got enough distance from that I can enjoy the editing. Or at least that's the theory!

It was super difficult for me to write and not go back and edit. It was like asking me to speak and not gesture.

I usually start my stories with the female main character.

Hi Jeanne!

There truly are lots of ways to approach the beginning of a story. I'm pleased that the post is useful.
