That Scene

You know that scene? The one scene that started it all? The catalyst that sparked your creative musings and somehow blossomed into an entire plot? Well, *inhales dramatically* today is the day that I write that scene.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!! I've imagined it so may times and now I can finally write it!

It all started innocently enough. A hooded and disguised girl running through the forest, a man chasing the darkly clad figure, a mischievous root sticking up just a little too high.

You can see it coming can't you? She falls, crashing to the ground. He slows his approach, relishing the victory, knowing he will win. And then, discovery! The slow horror of realization. Oh no, not her! She can't be!

When I first imagined that scene I didn't have a clue who either person was. Slowly and sometimes agonizingly slower, the plot revealed itself. And from that pivotal scene was birthed The Hawk and The Hunter.

And now I'm thinking, wait, I get to write that TODAY?! Wow! It was probably about three years ago that I first saw it. I'm so excited!!!

But of course, before I get to write it I have to clean the kitchen, and do math, and start a load of towels, yadda, yadda, yadda. Guess I'd better get at it, eh?
