In the midst of finding monologues and reading memoirs and attempting to figure out what I can put on my resume and how my headshot should look, I'm taking some time out to develop a story that I've only had the title for.
Titles are hard for me. Usually I have a situation first, a couple of scenes, or some dialogue.
This title came to me one day and I wrote it down so I could come back to it later.
When I started thinking about building my second dollhouse, I connected it with the name I had written down and decided that the dollhouse would be my inspiration for the house in the story. The house is called Pumpkin House (it is a coppery orange with off-white trim, a little Cape Cod cottage) and while the story doesn't share its name, it is definitely the centerpiece for the novel it will inspire.
I'm listening to The Village and Lady in the Water soundtracks and writing a few pages of ideas, bits of dialogue, character names, and plotlines before I continue with my office work.
...this stage of writing always excites and fascinates me.
