It is unfortunate that people are labeled so easily in our society. I also do a bit of myth-shattering in my first book, "Nothing to Regret," about the Japanese Americans. This wasn't really my intention when I started writing, but that seems to be what comes out when I write. :) Thank you, Wandering Author!

So many people seem determined to slap labels on other people: race, religion, nationality. They lump the labels they don't understand together if they look at all similar, and portray everyone the same way. It seems to be one of the most basic problems humanity faces. I'm glad you're out there speaking out against it, and sorry you have to endure hostility because of it.

Based on a person's background, you can get all sorts of responses based on just one word. :) I'm glad you're enjoying it. Penelope - I'm glad you like it. I figured moms would like it the best. :) WA - Yes, I think that’s the one thing I find most appealing.

I think the surpise of which way the novel will take lead is one of the theings I like most about writing novels. There are a lot of other things, of course, but it has never failed to surprise me when a novel has decided, "Alright, you sit back and just write while I do my thing."

I haven't done mine yet, but am working on my blog, so may have to do mine on the main blog for now, and then relocate them all to my writing blog which I plan to reopen. Off to read WA's 100 Words now. Great, I love what sprang forth.

I posted my 'entry' for Want on Tuesday, and it is very different from this. It sprang from a different sense entirely of the word - yet the moment I read the prompt, that was what occurred to me. You're right, this is fun! It is interesting to see what different ideas can spring from a single word. I posted my ‘entry’ for Want on Tuesday, and it is very different from this.

Novels should be nurtured and allowed to grow. If we want them to live in the minds of our readers, we should treat them like living beings. I very much agree.
