I have two projects I’m meant to be editing, and I am currently editing neither of those. When I was experimenting with different genres, I started writing The Baker and the Accountant. The title is just to remind me what’s in the document, it wasn’t really a project with a goal as it was just an expansion of a dream I had. The first page is the dream, and then rest was just born afterwards. I got to a point where I didn’t know where to go, because it would either end quickly and sweetly, or become really complicated and a lot less of a romance, and so I just stopped writing it. I really like the characters and so didn’t want to ruin it. I don’t know if it’s a good romance, but it’s a project that I look at as if it’s cute cat latte art. And I don’t want to mess it up.

But, now I’m editing it, I’m trying to decide how it proceeds. I’m thinking of cutting some of the original parts to create a short story, but also want to make a small novel out of it. The current project has aspects that I want to explore, but I still worry about ruining the novel. Which is such a weird concept, isn’t it? I can always un-write it, can’t I? But I don’t think about it like that. I wonder why …
