Brainstorming
I really, reeeeaaallllly love brainstorming.
There’s something about creating a new group of people, conflict, mystery and romance that gets me so excited. It makes me giddy and alive.
Today, I worked on the first idea I had for a psychological thriller. I changed some of it–made it a paranormal (at least for now although it’s not strong) and changed who my villain was. The original way was simply NOT working. I tried twice. This way is better.
I went back and forth between making the heroine a 19 year old, the summer after her freshman year of college or a 17 year old, the summer before senior year. I ended up choosing the hs student. There’s more of a vulnerability about someone who isn’t legal yet, still considered a kid, rather than a young adult. At least in my eyes.
I finished my character list, and tomorrow I’ll be working on character bios. I have to say that is my most dreaded part. I just hate it, but it’s so necessary. lol Maybe I’ll look for pics too to keep me motivated. ![]()
