This afternoon in the car...

My New Novel in Progress: [throws major plot twist at me]

Me: What.

New Novel: You heard me.

Me.: But...this is completely the opposite of what I had planned. Whoa.

New Novel: [looks smug]

(Also, this new novel has a lot more sex in it than I'd expected. My short fiction generally doesn't have much sex, and I've been writing mostly short fiction for the past few years, so I guess I expected this novel wouldn't have much either, though my previous novels have quite a bit. Which shows just how much I know.)

Thank you! It was a bit of a shock to the system going from final edits on one novel to first draft of the new one, but I'm having fun with it now.
