Lost in Novel-Land
Patterns form quite easy…

It’s said that habits form easily, but they are hard to break. But then, there is a contradictory saying that says that habits are difficult to form. Who knows? 

I am pleased to say that my Muse is working DOUBLE time to bring me fresh ideas to novel about. Yes, I used “novel” as a verb. To me, it means “write in a novel-format.” Hey, if Shakespeare can make up over 2,000 words, I think I’m entitled to a few every now and then. Not that I’m putting myself in the rank of Shakespeare or anything…

Getting off that subject before I step on some toes. Basically, in the past two days, I’ve formed three ‘novel’ (as in a book) ideas with distinguished and distinct characters for each. I’m very excited. I’ve developed ONE so far. Hopefully, I will be sharing that adventure with you while I write it; however, I think I’m going to rush right through it so I have a rough draft on paper (or screen). That way, I can begin to write the second while editing the first. See? It all works out. 

I am going to give myself two months of *hard-core* planning before I begin actually writing. See, that’s VERY hard for me because I just LOVE to jump right into the prose, but I find that I stop writing soon after because nothing NEW comes to me anymore. I’m left questioning things that never get answered. And that’s FRUSTRATING. So, this time, I will PLAN before I write. I’m talking planning down to the letters that I’m writing. That level of detail. 

I’m excited. You should too…because I will be sharing detail and snippets of this crazy adventure that I call “novelling.”
