Ha! I did it. I started writing the other idea, the new shiny idea and it made my other story jealous. Last night before bed, during the time I am trying to turn off my thoughts, the original story reared it’s ugly head and started talking to me again.
I can see my main character who I am sorry to admit has not told me her name yet. She is a take no crap kind of girl. Badgering me to cut the crap and stop leaving her hanging there. What, do I think she has all day to wait for me to write about her? No, she doesn’t. She has a cheating boyfriend- soon to be ex to deal with along with some idiotic werewolves, a younger sister and some other surprises. She does not have time to wait for me to write another story. She needs my attention now!
See what I mean? Feisty chick, huh? So i am ready to give it. And maybe when I am struggling with plot issues with her, the other story will finally get jealous. That main character is totally different. A nice guy who tries to be polite until pushed too far. Oh yeah, I plan on pushing him way to far to see what happens.
This is so exciting. Sometimes I love having a ringside seat to inside my head. By the time I am done I will have two more novels complete.
I love being a writer- I can say I hear voices in my head and it is perfectly normal.
Let me ask you, do your characters talk to you in your head? Also, I would love to get some character names from you. I was thinking maybe Diana but it might be a bit overused. Suggestions?
