"I'm curious as to how long the "plot" incubated before you actually sat down to write???"

That's rather difficult to pin down, and if I can't do it, no one can.

Part of the problem is that "the plot" is a confluence of a few diversified plots I had been kicking around, as well as some evocative scenarios that had been occupying me.

Some of those things go way back. My first work was cathartic. I think I loosed a few demons.

It also changed as I molded its clay, transforming before my eyes into an entirely different thing. I liked the new thing better.

I have several unfinished "books" lying around, and being dissatisfied with the way they are progressing was the major factor in them gathering dust.

It's nice to know that you were brave enough to forge ahead and change things as you went.

We all have demons to loose. Some of us just don't like to admit that the demons that are out are ours. :o])
