Struck by the Writing Bug

Current mood: Delightfully distracted and naively optimistic.

Current song: Long Shot by Kelly Clarkson


After months (probably closer to a year) of stunted creativity, I have decided to write again. The decision comes for two reason.

One - I need something to ground and distract me. Writing has always been a blissful escape for me. So while everything else is in shambles and most of my future has been replaced by ominous floating question marks, I am going to retreat to my first love and passion: writing.

Two - I can't help it! I have an idea for a series of novels that has been nagging me. No matter how many times I try, this one idea won't disappear. It must be acting upon if I ever hope of coming up with a different story idea in the future.

So I have spent most of last night brainstorming and feel ready to put words on paper. Let's see where this idea takes me.


Tonight's task: Purchase index/note cards. Construct a quick, loose outline.

Tomorrow's blog: Teasers on the series concept and book #1's plot.
