This sort of happened to me once when I tried to combine all my usual and personal bed-time story characters into one story-- for my kids. To me, it felt like the slow-mo scenes in movies where your favorite characters show up ready for action. (See there I slipped into second person again). <br /><br />I'm going to do Nanowrimo. I decided to organize my notes in a large sketch book first. When I open the sketch book I end up with a seven foot spread. I have 3 of them finished. Not many words yet. I have some characters and some setting, and enough themes to kill a novel, but still looking for some plot. Supposedly there is no problem with no plot of Nanowrimo. But I'd like to find at least a tiny bit of one to start with. The Nanowrimo I did in 2007 was what brought me to Hamline in the first place. I had no other writing to submit except that. So I think Nano must be good for something, even if it throws off Thanksgiving, the season, and the year rather well.<br /><br />No, I don't like the idea of characters stuck in stasis forever. Which is why I haven't read the second book in "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde. It was incredibly hard to read and understand in the first place. Now time has gone by, I can appreciate the idea much better. I think I'll order it from the library. pollyalice_artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583471955974483276noreply@blogger.com
