October Novel Prep Challenge

Morning Y'all!

I have been enjoying the process so far. I think this challenge is just what I need to get the story out of my head and down on paper. I knida do things the old fashioned way, loose leaf and an old # 2. Anyway...I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?

The story I am working on I have been playing around with for over two years now!! Two years!!! I have actually taken bits and pieces of the story and made 2 stand alone short stories with them. The short stories were mostly born of back story, but they fleshed out two of the characters in the main.

Well, signing up for the challenge brought the Muse back to the front door and this time she is knocking with a sledge hammer. And much to my surprise, she brought along a guest. She has dragged another character and his plot line along for the ride! At first I was a bit annoyed. I really did not think I wanted to be entertaining character, but she was right. This guy might just be what I need for a little levity and interest. He really is a likable guy but I am not quite well acquainted with him yet.

I know there has been a lot said who is up tweeting at 3 am, but I know one person whose brain decides to come up with "brilliant" ideas at 3 am when I would much rather be sleeping, lol! At least I have enough common sense not to broadcast them to the entire world.

I would love to hear any comments on this. Just trying to figure out if I am already overthinking this, and I am famous for that, or is this just a natural part of the process.

Have a lovely day!
