Never ventured onto this board before among all you clever writing people! Hello :o
So, last night while I was failing to sleep I actually came up with a plot for a story. I have a rough idea what will happen, and who the characters are, the tone of the book etc. Basically I just wrote down all my ideas in no particular order, including prompts to myself of things I'll need to think about in more detail. That's all I have so far, but it's so much more than I've ever done before.
This is amazing for me - I was very creative in my teens but after a complete breakdown (I was hospitalised) I totally lost all confidence and creative ability and have never really dared to try again. This is scary - I feel vulnerable!
I'm not sure how intense I want to get with this - I have a lot of stuff going on including a big health problem (so I'm not sure about nanowrimo, even though that looks great) - where do I start? Any advice? :)
