Hello? Inspiration? Where are you?? I swear, when I'm just writing freely I feel like I have a million ideas chasing me down the street like I'm gonna be in a gang bang. Unfortunately none of them fit this new project I'm working on a short story for, so I have to sit down and try to squeeze out a coherent idea like I'm on the creative loo.... hoping I create something better than that simile suggests.
Yeah, I'll get it eventually.
I have pieces of an idea.
I'm not sure if it's an idea I want to go with. I have a character and a possible situation. I need to find out where it's going. More on this later as I try to brainstorm systematically. The only good point is that the last time I did this I wrote one of my best short stories ever.
