Just had a long telephonic conversation with Muse Margaret. I told her the title and idea I'd had for the new book - I was beginning to second guess my initial thought for what the book could be about, but the minute she heard the title and what I was thinking about she got very excited and said this was absolutely the book to write beginning next Sunday. That was just what I needed to hear. I've been doing nothing but thinking about it - I'm not even concerned about what the actual plot will be - I never am - that always comes to me as I write and it's more organic that way, but I just had to have the launching point and I do have what I think is a good one. And the central thing that sets the story in motion is something I've been obsessed with all my life and I've wanted to do a book that used it forever and I guess now I will. So, I created the template, wrote the first two pages (I'd already done the first two paragraphs) and I'd confirmed with Muse Margaret that I'd written two versions of those first two paragraphs - third person and first person but that first person seemed better for this story and she wholeheartedly agreed. So, here we go.
