Too much emotion

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Sorry, still no official good news to share (and beleive me I’m quite anxious to share).

Anyway, because of my hypothetical good news, I took a good hard look at one of my stories last night. This story has worried me since the beginning because I think there’s too much emotion.

Or at least too much emotion for what I’m writing. Does that make any sense at all?

See, my heroine is a Fate so part of her job is to, well, cut the strands of life. She basically kills people. BUT, a good chunk of them go onto a better place - she knows this yet she still struggles with it.

Enter Mr. Hero. His daughter died.

I think you can see my problem now. I just don’t know if I should be dealing with the death of a child, I know it pushes a lot of peoples “No Way” buttons. But since it is a paranormal, I don’t know if I get a little bit of wiggle room or not.

The whole “daughter” issue runs kind of parallel to my story, purposely, because I don’t want to have to go into those emotions.

But then I’m not sure if I’m kind of shafting…something, by ignoring it.

I don’t know, what are you’re feelings? Do I get a little bit of room to move since it’s a paranormal?

You know me, I write romance, I gaurentee a happy ending!
