Openings ...

So I had this great opening come to me while I was running the other day. It was so fun I actually laughed out loud. Of course, I was running alone on a dirt road and the cows on the other side of the fence couldn't care less about a crazy human laughing alone while running.

It just hit me and made me increase my pace until I came through the door of my home sweaty and a bit anxious to get on the computer.

So I got it. I caught it in print and got my bath, much to the relief of my family. I love it when scenes just hit you like that!

Then I told my best friend about it and she loved it and we brainstormed and OH! I can see this going somewhere very good. Now I've just got to do a few months worth of research, make a trip to New Orleans and get started. Fun, fun, fun.

YAY that you captured the opening! So . . . what's it about? :) Good luck writing the rest!

Mean! You're not going to tell us what it was!?! I want to know!

I'm like that, too. Especially, when I'm driving- I get all my best ideas on the road.

What a great experience to have it come so clearly to you. Have fun with the research. Is it set in New Orleans?

It'll be set in and around New Orleans. That will be fun as we used to live in Louisiana and I'd love to spend some time there again. As for the story line? I think I'll be keeping it a secret for a little while.
