My mother and I went to a fancy Vietnamese lunch today, and despite or because of my continued illness and sleep deprivation and unfounded anxiety over school, plotted out in detail an entire mystery novel--characters, plot, clues, narrative voice, etc. It involves an adorably bumbling detective addicted to detective fiction, cinnamon, a big cat, Italians, and mothers.
I'm really excited, and almost determined to cloister myself for three days in the library and just write it.
Once I can breathe normally.
