The Strange World of Story Formation: Guardian Angel

So one of the reasons I wanted to keep this journal was to be able to record how some of my stories progress, especially in the beginning, because as often happens after I work on something for an extended period of time, I forget how I ever came up with the idea, or how it ever developed into what it was currently, because I do remember it turns out nothing like it began, just can't remember how.  Heh.For instance, the idea I've been talking about quite a bit lately, Lady in ...
