With the day off tomorrow and the promise of warm breezes and clear skies, I'm preparing myself to spend the day outside writing. Now that I have a clear idea of the story I want to tell (or at least, more clear than it's been in awhile), I'm getting excited to finish the outline so that I have something complete to pitch to my literary agent. God has been revealing a few things to me about what direction to go in and what type of characters to include, but coming up with the details it takes to jot down thousands of words is a massive undertaking. But one that I am ready to begin! Nothing is more inspiring than an outdoor cafe, watching the many varieties of people come and go, each with stories of their own I'll never get to hear, but can easily imagine. In some people I can almost visibly see the cartoonish conversation bubbles above their head, allowing a glimpse of what's on their mind at the time. In others though, they seem like a blank slate, allowing me to take some creative liberties and insert my own bubble over them. Tomorrow I'll take notes of this kind, and will assume that someone like myself is most likely doing the same to me - although since I pretty much wear my emotions on my sleeve, no matter the outfit, they'll have an idea what's going on in my head. Tomorrow will be full of joy, but also rich with intense concentration.
