I can has idea
Jan. 26th, 2010 04:15 pmLast night when I was driving home from work listening to the Monday Night Opera on KXLU (which was playing Tchaikovsky's Mazeppa), I got an Idea. Possibly for a short story, but, knowing me, probably for a novel, because it's very rare that I get ideas for short stories and this seems more novel-y. (No, it had nothing to do with Tchaikovsky or operas.) I grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled some notes at a stoplight.
It's too new to talk about, but it's a wonderful feeling to suddenly have a new novel idea. I already have a backlog of projects to work on when I finish this draft of the Jo book, and it'll be quite awhile before I'd want to get started on this one aside from mulling it over, but there's just something awesome about a new novel idea--about how one moment it doesn't exist and the next minute, there it is. It's so mysterious.
Meanwhile I am at the scribbling-all-over-the-printout stage of chapter 24 revisions, which is an enjoyable stage.
Meanwhile it's Raining Again, but apparently just for today, so I don't mind much.
