Story idea...

I am working on a new story idea and it is a totally unexpected thing for me. New area and new character. I have it under development and I am doing the research right now. Yays. I am enjoying some time to do this and am really glad I did not sign up for the Ardor in August challenge. Having time to explore my own ideas is just what I want to do right now.

I usually do pretty intense research when something new comes along, both online and in the works. I need to internalize the subject matter so the writing will then flow naturally. I enjoy the research and it is during this that I also shape the outline of the story in my mind. Give it the general direction.

Fun, eh?
