You know that old stand by rule to keep paper and pen nearby?

Well, it's an old rule because it works.  Today, at work, while contemplating the oddness that is my life as of late, an idea struck.  Rather quickly, it hit me like an unseen boulder that had just careened down Haleakala.

Annnnnyway, I wrote it down, just the basics.  Later, a bit of a conversation that one of my new characters decided to impart to it's lowly author.  I had to stop when the conversation didn't jive with the earlier outline.  Later, the connection between the outline and the conversation just showed up in my brain.

I love it when things work that way.  I seem to have another great beginning.  Here's to hoping I can see it through. 

Oh, and I think this year's NaNo will be dedicated to multiple works.  Yes, I'm going for the middles and ends of several years of stories.

Woot?
