We're mad!, Jules this is all your fault! Options

I've got to confess, I'm feeling pretty excited about this. I've started plotting my story out now and I can't wait to get going on it.

It's morphed a lot from the idea I was first thinking about, and it's turning into a novel for adults rather than teenagers. That's going to be quite a change for me because I've never written anything much for adults at all.

I've got one of the characters, Claire, fairly clear in my head and I'm going to be spending a while working on the others this week. I've kind of borrowed a moment from a short story I wrote last year and something that happened to me in real life, and I'm letting the plot bunnies spiral out from there.

I'm also pretty nervous. I think I'm one of the slowest writers in the world, so having to write at this speed is pretty scary. I'm having to reassure myself that it's only going to be a draft and no one will expect it to be the same as my usual posted stuff.

How's everyone else feeling right now?
