You can tell you've found a writing project that will stick with you when...

...you feel homesick after you've worked on another book for a while.

Common with most young, unpublished authors, I find that I often wander from writing one book to the next very often. I would get a 'brilliant idea', write some of it down, and then forget about it. When I remembered, I wouldn't feel like writing, and would have no attachment for the book. So then I would move on to the next great idea, which would end up to be a dead end, and then the process would repeat itself over and over again.

However, just a half an hour ago, when I was standing on the front porch feeling the breeze and the sun, I realized that I hadn't worked on Sarea in nearly two days. Instead, I had been working on another idea I had come up with while visiting Enna-Rin (had a whole bunch of fun over at your house, Rin!). And for some odd reason I felt really lonely for my good old book that I will have been working on for nearly a year come December.

So I guess I've found the book that I'll really be sticking with. And it's moving along at a pretty steady clip. I just feel really guilty because I had my poor main character...well, I won't tell you that because that is considered a spoiler.
