We're getting excited about NaNoWriMo here. I was not enthusiastic about writing a novel but now I can't wait. Actually, I had gotten started. I had my story figured out and even had some notes down to get going.
Then I changed everything. That is an old, forgotten habit of mine. I'm having flashbacks to my last couple years in college, when I'd stay up half the night writing a paper, then trash it, start over, and spend the second half of the night writing the new paper. So I should have expected it to happen.
And as much as I've said I don't want to write fiction, I'd forgotten that this idea had been kicking around in my head for a few years; I don't know how I forgot it, because once it came to me today, it was so obvious.
I shouldn't post this because... I don't know why I shouldn't. There are only 5 or 6 of you to read this anyway so it's not as if I'm revealing some big secret to the world.
To those of you who have been reading here for a while, what books am I always nagging you to read? Right. Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons and all the books following. It's all over my sidebar and I post about these books as often as I can.
Those books end when the main characters are teens/children. What if the story went on? What if someone picked up the story after several years, when the Walkers and the Blacketts were grown and married and had their own kids?
Could that work?
I guess I will find out!
