At last, we were settled into our new home. Mychael started medical school and I got a job! Everything came together nicely and thankfully very quickly.
I was finally able to sit down and relax and of COURSE start brainstorming about how I wanted my book to flow. Mychael was doing homework and I sat our on our balcony (Lanai) looking into the beautiful Hawaiian horizon with my little blank journal. Surprisingly it did not take long for the brain juices to get flowing. After about 15 minutes of really thinking about an outline for my book it came to me. It was almost too easy! I immediately knew how I wanted to start my book and continue on with each chapter! I would love to share the outline with all of you, but I am afraid I want there to be some surprise!
I made sure to write it all down! Filled with excitement I called my parents and made sure I was on speaker phone!
"Guess what, I said!"
"They replied..what?"
"I know how I want my book to go! Now I just need information for my first chapter!"
I continued to ask many questions, like what were they feeling during that time period? What did their settings look like? Who was all there? Etc.
Feeling content with the answers they gave me I jotted them down and continued on to call Kali. I left a message on her phone, sounding crazy I am sure. I was so enthused that I had finally figured it all out!
The following day Kali called me back, I rambled for an hour about the outline and how I wanted each chapter to sound and how I would navigate between the two main characters. She was on board. I mentioned to her that it was pretty crazy how everything had fallen into place so well since we moved to Hawaii.
I left it at that;in the back of my mind.
