This morning I did an outline of my first chapter from the perspective of both my hero and heroine. Their contact is limited to the end of the section and serves as set up for their future involvement.

As I worked, I drew on two different stories I'd started ages ago, intertwining them. Because parts are already written, I think starting writing will come a bit easier. It will begin as reworking -- flipping this scene over there and tweaking another scene to fit the new reality. Only then will I have to move on and actually create something new.

I'm debating using the computer, or going longhand. Sometimes I'm more inspired while holding a pen than when poised at the keyboard.

I think I'll find my notebook.
