*happy dance*
I finished a story! I finished a story! I finished a story!
Okay, so it's less than 5500 words of drunken antics and shagging, but it's a whole, entire, completely finished story! The first thing I've finished since, er, um...
I had such good intentions when I started this journal, and then real life came along with a double-helping of overtime and flu (three versions, in a row). But I have finished a story, a military band just marched down my road, and the sun is shining. ^___^ (Easily pleased, me?)
( And for my next trick... )

Let's Begin at the Beginning
There's something about an empty journal that's even more unnerving and exhilarating than the usual thrill of a blank piece of paper. A new journal means, to a certain extent, a new identity, one that will be created here as I write. So, as this is a writing journal, I'll christen it by writing about the point where stories begin: the initial idea.
Ideas come in many forms - most of mine start as little tattered story bits which have to be collected and stitched together before they're strong enough to carry a whole story, its ideas and people and passions. Although the process varies from story to story, I have a road I tend to follow, especially for one off stories set in the real world.
