Beginnings
There's nothing quite like the beginning, the work before the work of writing.
Ideas are thrilling, every new one adding to the ones before it, congealing into something new and exciting.
The beginning of a new concept is one that is most exciting for me. I know the oft-time drudgery of word after word looms in the near distance, but for now, the fresh, cool air of what could be makes every nerve aware.
I love imagining the characters, situations, dialogue, all before one word has been typed. I will sometimes dream the characters and plot before I write, very often as I write.
Beginnings. We haven't screwed anything up yet. We're creating something alive, and it is beautiful.
