And Now for Something Completely Different

At 4 a.m. I awoke; I don't know what woke me but I immediately began thinking of the 1,532 words I'd written before bed and decided that my novel was B-O-R-I-N-G, and that if I was going to do this thing I was going to have to come up with a new idea.

So, that's what I did. It sort of just came to me about an hour ago, so tonight I have a synopsis of sorts. It's going to be about a young woman, a singer, who suffers a crisis and takes off to follow her favorite band. She's running, but also seeking, and of course, she's going to find something she doesn't know she's looking for.

Yes, that's right: I'm writing a road trip novel.

Now, I'm excited!

I still need to think more about who she, my MC, is...and hopefully this time my secondary characters won't steal the show, so to speak.
