Understanding Haven
So, originally when I started writing 'Haven' it was based off of a dream I had. One or two other scenes I wrote randomly also seemed to coincide with the basic plot and I wove them together. Now I have a full fledged story and as people read it they all mention how interested they are in learning more about 'Haven'. My first response to this is always, 'Shit, I didn't really write about the haven.' The reason being, Haven is just a place, a setting for the story, but it isn't 'The Story'. I have developed it a bit more and brought it into the story as we go but, this was all after people started bringing it up. Then I thought, 'How bad of a writer am I that I completely ignored this whole topic?' In truth, the haven isn't really the main plot of 'Haven'. While the story may be named after it, the title has a double meaning. Once you read the story you'll understand that for the main character she is trying to find a metaphorical 'haven' within herself, within her life, whilst she is dealing with the actual haven. I'm sure this all seems like nonsensical babble, but its the truth of it, and when you do read 'Haven', you'll understand.
