Bright Young Things
March 7th, 2010I’m not talking about that’s for sure. I’m still pretty high on sinus and allergy meds, I’m talking about my new obsession with the roaring 20’s England. In particular the racing circuit.
I was watching The SuperSizers Go 20’s and the plot monkey’s visited me. Voraciously. I took lots of notes, but it didn’t appease them.
I told them a new bright and shiny is not on my plan. They didn’t listen. I wrote them a synopsis on Thursday. It didn’t appease them. I did more research. Finding gems like this:
Sorry I don’t know who these chaps and chapettes are. I found them on a Google search for fashion of the 20s. They look fantastic eh?
So the monkey’s were not appeased. They forced the characters to appear fully formed in my mind, nattering at me constantly.
I had to give in and write a bit. So I started Friday.
I’m now 10k into what I hope will be a rip roaring twenties romance set in England … in particular Brookland’s and the racing which was done there.
The last time a book did this was in November, my UF (which btw is out on submission).
I guess I have to just let the monkey’s have their way sometimes eh?
Now, I just have to find the right publisher to sub it to, since it’s one of those gray area time periods. *sigh*
Ever have that happen to you, a bright shiny which just needed to be written and you couldn’t stop thinking about it?
