It Fits

I know I'm doing the right thing by putting several toes--maybe a whole foot?--in the water, even though I am afraid.

 I know this because even though I worked overnight and it's well past my bedtime, I can't settle into sleep. I'm full of character ideas, plot points, beautiful words, questions, fears, tasks, emotional discomfort and a familiar, electric thrill that always comes when I'm onto something.

So:

1. I am so very tired.
2. I am onto something!

Three days until my first National Novel Writing Month. I am more than excited about the opportunity to dust off a whole part of me I'd stored away more than 15 years ago. I am joyful.
