Day 62:
I think I let the genie out of the bottle...the cat out of the bag...the characters out of the secret place where they have been forced to live. Perhaps other writers or creators of tales have experienced this. Now that I have voiced their existence, the characters of my book won't leave me alone. They each come to me with their story, justifying their motives and actions. Whether I am in the shower, doing dishes, or even in the grocery store, I feel like I am being followed around by a gaggle of imaginary geese. No, I am not going bonkers...did that long ago.
I feel a little like I am binge watching a Netflix series in my head. Now, I really have to carry my notebook around with me because they get terribly upset if I do not capture their point of view in a conflict. It should be interesting to see who gets "first person" placement. Then again, as it evolves, I believe they will all get a say so in what finally happens. Yes, I do not know the ending yet. I'm sure one of them will spring that on me while I'm in the bathroom. So, if you ever see me talking to myself on the street, just assume I am on my Bluetooth, even though we all know I am talking to "them". Today, I am thankful I have not yet been committed!
