So...

Have you ever had something pop into your head one day that intrigued you? It comes out of no where, has nothing to do with whatever's going on, but it's such a fascinating topic that you want to roll with the idea and let your mind take you wherever it feels the need to go. My artist or writer friends know what I'm talking about. And even if you're not an artist or a writer (maybe you're a dancer, or you knit, whatever, so long as you do something creative) you can see what I'm getting at here.

Back to the point of this post. So the other day I had a character pop into my head that just absolutely captured my interest. I have no idea where she came from, but I just had to know more about the girl called Envy. She embodied the emotion that gave her her name, and along with Envy came Love, Jealousy, Rage, Misery and a whole cast of characters. In fact, a whole world was born inside my head. And I'm excited, because this land is so enrapturing.

I've tried to write a book before, and let's just say that it didn't go well. Still, I think maybe I'll try again, with this new world that's been opened to me. It's so exciting all I can do is *squee!*
