NaNoWriMo is rapidly approaching (but not quickly enough). The idea for my story came to me about a week ago, and it has gripped me strongly, very strongly. After a few days of brainstorming, I've begun to outline and plan the more concrete details.
It's hard, harder than I thought it would be, keeping the characters themselves and not lending them pieces of my personality. I can't tell anyone about the story; last year I did that, and it took so much of the satisfaction and, honestly, all the fun out of keeping the secret.
Writers have the luxury of social allowances such as occasionally craziness and eccentricities; I intend to put all those allowances to full use, come November. Perhaps even now, with the research I'm planning...
I feel like a crafty planner of devious schemes.
