This seed sprouting metaphor should tell you that I'm not the type of writer that does a lot of pre-plotting. I have called my style of composition to be discovery and development. So I have discovered the 'first thing' that happens. I will develop that as I write. But the good news is that the 'first thing' is large enough to carry the weight of a novel.

New Project Growth
It hasn't been as productive a week as I'd hoped but while I wasn't sitting at home writing, I was catching up with friends and family. Today, however, I am back at the keyboard. And I have taken my little seed of an idea and now there are a couple of green leaves coming out of the soil. That particular metaphor was easy as I have started some plants this year and that is exactly the stage my gardening project is at.
