In Which Soaring Soprano Was Bitten...

... by a plot bunny.

Okay, maybe not so much a plot bunny as it is one of those emoting things again. Technically speaking, a plot bunny is when you actually have an idea for a plot... and I most definitely do not have a plot.

But I don't really have an emotion either. It's more of a visual and about a paragraph's worth of text.

I was sitting in traffic when the image hit me. It was of a starry sky, but it was moving, like I was rapidly pulling away from the image. The stars grew smaller as I fell back, and wispy clouds passed by me at lightning speed, then darkened tree tops, and then my mind-camera stopped zooming out and I was looking at the most beautiful pair of brown eyes I'd ever seen. I could swear that the light of the stars was shining in the depths of those eyes. It was like all the light in the galaxy had coalesced there and it was so breathtakingly beautiful. And then I knew that I loved the owner of these eyes, and that she was the most perfect woman in the galaxy...

Bingo! Right off the bat I know that my character is male (*sigh* again). The strange thing is that his POV is in the second person. Initially, it really threw me for a loop because I couldn't figure out who I was exactly. And I had that scene in my head, and I just knew that it wasn't the beginning or the end of the vignette that would surely grow from it. That bit belonged somewhere in the middle. But I also knew that I couldn't write what I was seeing until I had written what led up to it.

And so, today that is my project. I have a feeling that it's going to take me awhile to get this one finished, but I don't think it'll be a problem this time around. The image is very vivid, but my character isn't as persistent about getting out of my head. He's a bit more restrained, and wants his reflections to be expressed perfectly and can appreciate that it may take some time for me to channel him properly.

Ah ha! A clue!

And whoever said blogging isn't helpful?!  

*goes off to write*

PS- Any tips about writing in second person would be greatly appreciated... I've never done this before, and it's quite tricky...
