New Year's Resolution
Dec. 29th, 2007 11:21 amI'm not much for New Year's Resolutions. They're stupid. Seriously. Either you're going to eat healthier, exercise more, stop smoking, drink less alcohol, drink more water, pray more, and recycle, or you're not. WHATEVER.
However, the timing is right for me to make a resolution because this was going to be my next project anyway.
This is the year that I'll begin my original novel. I was at the gym yesterday, and while I was on the treadmill, the plot was calling to me more clearly than it ever had before, even though it was already quite clear anyway. I think I might have to make this into a trilogy. It certainly won't be COMPLETE this year, but I will begin writing in earnest.
I need to completely plot out the skeleton plot and do proper character sketches of all the major characters by the end of January. 10,000 words written by the end of February.
So, there you have it. Time to write. Maybe, just maybe, someone will see fit to publish this. I think it could be good.
If this tells you anything, the plot hit me with the same level of "EUREKA!" sort of clarity that the plot of "Eclipse" hit me, and just that sense of knowing I had a good idea in the works. I think I can do this...
