World-Building (and PlotBunnies)

TB's starting to take shape. I'm still WorldBuilding and chasing PlotBunnies (hold STILL, dammit!), but I hope to be able to start writing early next week.

Part of me is REALLY looking forward to writing this book. I can SEE myself finishing it--something that's never happened before. Then I SEE a return to THE OTHER BROTHER, and FINALLY getting it to click. In that book, the Magic Item needs to go. It's gotta be organic. I don't quite know how that's going to work, but I'm ignoring those Bunnies for now.

The story that TREASURE BOX is based on, "The Golden Key," ends all official Grimm Brothers collections after the second edition. For me, it's the beginning. Then I plan on working with the other stories. THE OTHER BROTHER is the first. Then possibly a Snow White / Sleeping Beauty / Cinderella thing. Or something else. I don't know yet.

First, I've got to write THIS book.

And pray that the PlotBunnies wait their turn.
