Plots

One year since I finished Innocence and thinking about other plots...

When coming up with a story idea you need a plot and character. The character needs to have a problem to overcome, and this needs to be solved in the end. I had characters, but no plot? Because it wasn't my style? Because it wasn't my genre? That wasn't going to hold me back. Slow me down, maybe. Why then, would it bother? Wouldn't it be easier for it to just step away? Why did it have to stand in the road, blocking my path? I wanted it out. I wanted the lines to entangle in a web that would eventually structure the tale of these characters. Why wouldn't it hurry up?
