*It* Has Begun....

Since I was a good girl and did my NaNo despite lots of real-life obstacles, then I have rewarded myself with a December free to write whatever I want. No projects...well, except for the holiday gifts, but that's a special exception. And writing anything includes writing nothing, which (aside from the holiday project) has pretty much been my December.

But today, I was sitting at my desk, the warrants were done, and I had a half-hour before Bobby picked me up for lunch, and I got to thinking about the AMC prequel, about the romance of Nerdanel and Feanor. Back in May, while waiting to meet my mother-in-law for dinner, I had jotted down a rough out-of-order outline in my paper journal but hadn't touched it since. My hope was to start the project in the new year.

But suddenly, I really wanted to work on it. So I dug out the journal, created a scary new folder on my flash drive called "Nerdanel and Feanor Novel," opened a new MS Word document, and started to put the outline in a more sensible order.

So it has officially begun.
