How often do we writers say that? Do you ever get new ideas for books? Do you write them down? Sometimes I do; oftentimes I don't. When the idea strikes, though, I find myself acting out the scenes in my head. It's as if the characters are real people and I'm seeing the action take place in my head. Weird, huh? It's like that when I write. I see the scenes, and then write them. I tend to see the scenes more easily than write them. In fact, many times I'll go to write the scenes and they come out all wrong. It's as if they don't translate well to paper.
So, why am I telling you this? I have a brand spanking new idea that's been bugging me. It's keeping me up at night. The 13-year-old boy character is all over the place in my head. He's scaling walls, sneaking in and out of the building, stealing blue prints and almost getting caught. He's doing exactly what I want him to do...only it's all taking place in my head. The 14-year-old girl is doing everything she's not supposed to be doing and it's annoying me, which is good. That's how I want her to be. She comes with a side order of eye roll. But...I can't seem to get it onto paper (or computer). Grrrrr. So frustrating.
If you didn't figure it out, it's an MG adventure.
We'll see if I can go from my head to the keyboard to Word.
Wish me luck.
In the meantime, tell me in comments if this ever happens to you!
