I'm a-hummin', I'm a-buzzin', I's a-movin' like I got ants in ma pants ( and let me tell you, that's a distressingly unnatural place for ants to be, and man do you move when they're in there...), and generally fizzin' around the place like someone has stuck a rod of sodium down my trousers and thrown me in the bath.
...and all because I have an idea.
To begin with it winked into existence on a walk into work, grew through reading Vonnegut (sorry Daniella I'll post it tomorrow), and just when I was on the point of thinking that it would probably make the longest blog entry I'd ever written, I realised that it was the seed of a novel. Another one. This time it would be one that had the idea fully spread out and planned beforehand, not one where I had to sit down and write until something exciting happened to the characters I'd created. Of course, the plot isn't fixed, but the idea is, and it is currently burning a hole in wherever I'm keeping it. My head has yet to start smoking, but I'm going to have to start writing this soon. I'm not sure what might happen next.
I'll still continue with my ongoing crusade to aquire an agent with the first one, but sweet, sweet inspiration, I've not felt this way before, and I'm damned excited.
I am cynical enough to know that this is how I feel now, at the start of the project.
Watch and see...
