Telling About Your Story by Jeremy D Vance

       “What are you working on?”      A common question when I explain to someone I’m a writer. I’m usually more than happy to talk about the book I’m currently writing but listening lately to a popular author has me wondering if that’s the right course.       She mentioned her practice of NOT talking about her current writing project. She felt too many authors tell all about their stories and lose the drive to keep writing as a result. They have finished their storytelling and move on to writing a new story.       I think about a couple half planned projects in my Scrivener app and frown in realization. I talked about them but never finished. Loose lips sink not only ships but stories too.       I will now answer briefly when asked about my current story so the Muse and I can enjoy a long and happy working relationship. The momentum must continue.
