the muse mosquito is tickling my ear

I am itching to start Nano. Right now my novel idea is almost constantly in my mind, and it's driving me a little nuts that I have to wait until tomorrow midnight to begin. I have most of the opening scenes mapped out. Some of the middle scenes are there, too, and I have some general ideas of where I want it all to end up, which is nice. And although I don't really have names yet, my characters are starting to blossom with wants and desires and motivations, which will help keep the main force of the story going.

All of which is very exciting. I would love to have a novel readable enough that I would feel comfortable sending out to family and friends for critique. I would then dance and sing and be merry.

I have to thank communities like brigits_flame and their contests. It's kind of helped me warm up to this and get back into the fiction groove, which I have not heard the rhythms of in a very long time.
