I don't know how this happened, but I appear to be writing a story. Like, actually writing it rather than just scribbling down a beginning in a fit of excitement and then abandoning it forever. In fact, I took one such beginning (which I wrote on my phone at the hospital) and added two more paragraphs today! As well as changing the name of one character and the gender of another - I'm much happier with the two of them now. I think I'm really doing this. Wow.
That it's November has nothing to do with it, except that everyone's NaNoWriMo posts served as a reminder of what was until then only a half-formed plan. I know I'm not capable of writing a whole novel in one month, so I won't even try. The story could turn into a novel one day, though - should I manage to come up with a proper plot for once, I wouldn't be surprised if it got that long. But for now I need to concentrate on getting past the first few scenes ...
