Stories are like babies...

 
The thought of having a story in your head, keeping it all to yourself made me think of a little baby in the  womb of its mother. It's safe in there, nice and warm and it will only come out of there on his/her own terms (in most of the cases) and this somehow resembled a story to me. 

A story is something we come up with, it lives in our minds, our imagination and at one point, we decide to 'bring it to life', to snatch it out of that safe place and force it down on paper. Then, while I'm writing my story down, I sometimes wonder if the story shouldn't have stayed in my mind for a little while longer. If perhaps, I decided to write it too soon and made a mistake by wanting to share it with the world already...
