What’s good for the writer is murder on the teacher

I spent a lot of this evening brainstorming characters for my next story (I’ve mentioned my Festival of the Naked Man idea beforel I just needed characters to get it going).  Now I have the bug to start writing it…now.  The problem?  It’s a quarter after twelve and I have to teach tomorrow at 7:45.

So what to do?  Blog about it, apparently.  Then I’ll sign off here and go tap away at it until about one.  If I get enough steam going, maybe I’ll take a day off this week to finish my first draft.  (Leaving a story dangling when I need to be writing really does make me ill.)

Okay, I have forty minutes left.  Time to write an opening scene.  Night all.
