Got some words in last night! Still not great words and not really connected to anything, really. But sitting down to write actually produced some words! \o/

I also paged through 'Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!!' which I picked up at Half Price Books in Corpus. (yes, it really does have that many exclamation points in the title) It looks even more like what I want than it did at the store! Lots of different patterns, all of the templates are still in the back (!!), and what looks like decent yardage estimates for various sizes.

Space Queer: the quilt is slowly coming along. Cutting pieces is difficult because it hurts to stand and lean over the table for any length of time, thanks scoliosis, but it's going. I haven't given up; the fabric is still staring at me from the table. I really only have 1/3 of the diamonds left, then it's lots and lots of white and then border and then time to sew up the top. It's not really that many steps; I can totally trick my brain into believing that.

...but I definitely went into full-on galaxy brain with an idea last night. (Think Debbie Macomber but lesbians.) And then did a rough outline by hand because I was already at no-phone close to bedtime. And put ~900 words into a more fleshed out outline this morning.

I have a plot! And characters with motivations! And a setting! And a friend willing to listen to me babble and offer suggestions! And permission to fade to curtains rather than trying to force myself to write erotica!

I am super stoked to have this much writing mojo. I usually have characters and setting but no plot. Or a plot but no driving characters for it. Giving myself permission to talk about this silly idea with a friend was possibly a great thing. Not that I'm being held accountable as such, more that having someone to bounce ideas off of who also knows romance novels fairly well helps me feel more secure in writing this ridiculous Hallmark movie of a story.
