Howl's Sunday

So I'm fixing to start drafting a novel that I started a couple of years ago. It fell to the way side when I had to dive back into a rewrite for Rossi. Then another rewrite. Hopefully, I'm only looking at a revision now :) or I fear I shall set fire to my laptop in protest.

Anywhooo! Charlie! I've got about 5K already and it makes me smile and giggle. It's a light middle grade fantasy and focus is on the light. I've got some really crazy ideas for it that make my hard little heart swell with joy.

To say I'm in the love phase is a bit of an understatement!

But I really wasn't sure where to go next after those initial 5k. I had no real idea what the crux of the story was other than it was going to be silly. The silliest mg fantasy ever!!

I would have started a beatsheet, but I didn't even really now who my characters were going to be. So, I started with a character list instead and as I was naming and listing the folks that would star in this, a story began to take shape. I will still do a beat sheet for it here in the near future. For now, though, I have a sloppy, sloppy outline of bullet points and random thoughts. And I adore it!

Today though is Sunday and I don't wanna do anything but read. So I'm curling up with one of my very, favoritest books ever. Howl!

A little Howl's Moving Castle will help fuel the silliness, right?? Right! Happy Lazy Sunday, Y'all!!
