I love to write as well. Almo...Great post, Margay. I love to write as well. Almost every waking hour at least some portion of my thought process is devoted to writing. I was sitting at the chiropractor's office this morning waiting for my turn and in my head I was mentally processing the next scene. I drive and think about the characters, the scenes, dialogue--okay, probably <b>not</b> the best time to be thinking about writing, but my muse doesn't give me the option of picking and choosing appropriate times. When I go to bed, in those moments before sleep my brain is usually spiraling with thoughts--sometimes this hinders sleep...the evil little muse bastard! Basically, I never get away from the characters in my head, at least not until their story is complete and sometimes then I have a hard time pushing them out of my head. <br /><br />My only problem with NaNo so far this year...I'm <b>not</b> writing on the story I'd committed to. *bangs head against the wall* I have two I'm working on, DragonBlood and Demon Eyes, both I need to complete, but I'd hit a roadblock on DragonBlood. So, I thought this was the perfect time to finish Demon Eyes since I knew how I wanted it to progress. But when I sat down to write I was shoved into the DragonBlood storyline. I guess I can't complain since I've already gone over 9,000 words, but <b>still</b>...t would help if my muse were less schizophrenic! LOL<br /><br />BTW, thanks for reminding me to post my word count! I haven't done that yet, so I'm headed over there now.<br /><br />~huggles~Gracen Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394835340529761948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-37101322688689412812009-11-04T19:52:37.329-06:002009-11-04T19:52:37.329-06:00Oh, good!
