Muse-slapped.

Hand cramp! I think my muse slapped me in the face today instead of just whispering into my ear. I haven't stopped writing since I got home except to rest my hand (as I am doing now) and my story board for this plot is coming along nicely. I've gotten character ideas, a basic plot outline, and a story board done through chapter 6. However, I'm not quite sure how to do the prologue... My hand is tired!!!
This story is actually not a new idea, but one I've been mulling over since last summer. The story I think is much the same as when these characters first started to come to life, but with a little more meat to it than I had to begin with. I was thinking about them this morning in my creative writing class and when I started to describe them and the story I had in mind for them to my friend, I couldn't stop. She was also excited to see the story come to life, and I think it was having someone actually being enthusiastic about my writing that got me really into it today.
Basically I'm just really excited to be going through with one of my ideas instead of thinking about it, vaguely designing characters and events and then leaving the idea to rot.
