I’ve been pounding out some backstory and setting up the setting for my next project. It’s more prewriting than I’ve done before, and it’s pretty fun. I’m getting set up with a lot of characters (major and minor) who have motivations and desires. This will surely help me when I come upon those pesky plot problems I’m so aware of.
Writing is fun. And since I’m not a person who has ever actually wanted a job (the kind you have to shower for, and get out of the yoga pants) this is going to work out really nicely. Plus, there’s the “just a couple of hours a day” part and the “take a nap in the afternoon if you must” part that I find appealing.
I mean, who wouldn’t?
As long as you don’t care if you ever get paid, that is. And I guess I don’t. Who knew?
