So, having finished the draft of\u00a0The Imposters of Aventil<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, I was ready to jump right in with\u00a0Lady Henterman’s Wardrobe<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My brain, however, wasn’t quite having that. \u00a0“Whoa, let’s ease into this, get back in this mindset. \u00a0Breakdown the outline into scenes. \u00a0Find some inspiring images.”<\/p>\n

Which is how my brain works. \u00a0I need to fiddle with stuff, play with things that look sort of like the story\u00a0I see in my head. \u00a0Of course, none of these images are REALLY “right”. \u00a0That’s part of the challenge. \u00a0It’s stuff from movies, shows, drawings that are other stories, not mine. \u00a0They might evoke the same mood, the same feeling, but they aren’t really my story. \u00a0But they help me find my way there.<\/p>\n
