If you know me, you know that I'm always coming up with plots, characters, and settings which could eventually be turned into a best-selling novel (At least, that's how I see it.) But, you also know that these stories never actually happen. I start writing the first chapter, reach the second page, then get major writer's block for two or three years. Then it starts all over again!
To my surprise, I went outside with a notebook and a pencil, and next thing I knew, there was a complete story line sprawled out across four pages of college ruled paper! I was so excited! There was adequate character development, a clear picture of the entire setting in my mind, and even an obstacle for my character to overcome! To my amazment, I had written the tiny details like what my characters liked to do in their spare time! And, best of all, there was an ending! I've never planned that far ahead before! Now, that was my kind of miracle.
