I’m just going to do it. I got the second to the last of the things I wanted before I started Tyro’s outline and notes. The only thing that’s missing now is a pen for me that’s a bit of a treat. If any of my fans want to get this for me, I won’t say ‘no’. With the notebooks in hand, I just decided to go on ahead and start with the notes. The idea for all of this is to make something so that if I should meet misfortune, someone can pick up my work and continue on.

Come here often, Miss Fortune?

I also want to get all the facts right so that if I end up continuing it past the triology, I have a substantial body of work to draw from for inspiration. I can’t keep this in my head forever, you know.

I’m also on fire to get this novel started. I know I’ve said that in the past, and usually this is the “burn out rather than fade away” sort of thing, where I am intensely interested in it for a few months, then it fizzles out.

Classic.

I have the feeling this is different. This is a second draft, so I know what’s going on in this. I have new scenes that I want to put in, and this is an idea that’s been with me for a while. Maybe this is the Universe telling me that this is what I should be working on. I’m just so wound up about the whole thing.

I am still working on Tribal. I’m not going to ditch it, I’m adjusting the due date for me so that I can write it during lunch and still have some time to work on notes. This is going to be the last project I finish before working on the first Tyro novel. I’ve got something going through my writer’s group, and I have a couple of other projects that need some tending to as far as mistakes. I can release books next year (and maybe I should..) and still work on the big one.

Well, I should get started on things, so I am going to leave this here and scramble off the figure out where Tyro’s personalities all came from. Ta-ta!
