Random rants + My brain won't shut up

     I love writing at the public library but, unfortunately, there often aren't enough tables to work at.  I desperately hope that when they finish construction there will be enough room for all.  I know they are increasing the amount of reading space, which is exciting.  I've had to resort to using the quiet reading area to do some of my writing, which I feel guilty about when I start typing it into the computer.  On Tuesdays the tables fill up right at noon, which is when I get off of my shift.  I watch them fill up as I shelve and despair.

     Last night I was randomly inspired to work on a character I roughed out eons ago, the only problem?  It was 1:45 AM.  Suddenly I was way too hyped up to even consider sleeping, my brain was going a million miles a minute and I was giddy with joy.  GAH!  I discovered things she had done as a child (like get lost in a cave and be rescued by the richest man in town), the delightful character the piano teacher is, her favorite color, special jewelry she owns, her hopes and dreams.  I love it!
     Robyn, as that is her name, was originally created as a fictionalized self-ish-insert into a friend's Jonas brothers story (friend of the MC) but I've used her in other projects, including my CATS story, where she gets turned into a Jellicle!  She is the calmest of my characters and the first to not list yellow as a least favorite color (she's actually wearing it in the reference picture I use).  She also has both parents living and not separated, a first and quite the accomplishment.  Do you know how hard it is to write a story with both parents around?  Maybe it's from growing up watching Disney.  Who knows.  I will introduce her to you in the next few days (when I can either finish filling out her 'profile' or simplify it without sacrificing too much character development).
