After lots of time spent wondering what I would want to write, I have finally had inspiration. An idea for a novel has come to my head, and I've already started work on it. I expect it will take me a while to get it completed, given that Jackson seldom naps anymore and the sleep habits of our household have been downright ridiculous.
BUT, I have started writing it and have a reasonable goal set for myself for what I will be able to write. There is some switching between modern day and early 19th Century stories, so I may have some research to do to accomplish this task. However, given the way I have arranged the storyline, this should not need to be a significant amount and probably amounts to what I want to do anyway.
Yes, I'm being rather cryptic about not revealing the plot. Can you blame me? I will update on my progress, though. So far I'm just shy of completing the second chapter. It's a little challenging, finding my voice, as I am having to write from the perspective of multiple characters. One is female, the other male, and I may add a third or even a fourth, if I find it feasible. Given that I want the depth of the story to be more than merely superficial, I'm spending time honing in on the mindset of the cast I have conceived thus far.
This is fun, exciting, and ...probably going to take a while. But yay! At last!
