New Beginning

I started working on The Darkness of Gold when I was 16. It was 50 pages of loose leaf and I illustrated a cover for it. It took all of 8 hours to write down--I was on a plane from NYC to LA and had time. Needless to say, I was proud of myself. I kept it in a drawer of my desk until I started attending college. Sophomore year, when moving into a new dorm room, I found those pages and decided to type it out.

Now, eleven years later, I find myself trying to write a novel from scratch again. I figured, since rewriting Darkness was so easy, writing the sequel should be, too. Wrong! This is hard stuff! I find myself at a loss for what to do. I'm not an outline writer. I hate outlines. I like to free write, but with no idea where I want the story to go, I'm sitting on chapter 3 with Vanora still stuck in her bedroom.

The only clear image I have is of a new character. I'm thinking grey eyes and brown hair....

I love challenges so I look forward to figuring this out! Hopefully, she'll be out of her bedroom soon.
