Yesterday and I went to the park today and I got a lot of thinking in regards to my story. I haven’t figured everything out yet but I have figured out a few bits. Sadly, can I remember what those points were? Nope. I screwed up on the writer’s cardinal rule- never go anywhere without a pen and paper.
Unintentionally, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the mystery story, though, and I think I have the ending figured out. Too bad I don’t have the character picked out yet. In fact, beside the main character’s name and setting, I know nothing else about it. Just as well since it’s the very last one to be written this year.
I wish I could get a grip on this story right now. I love horror! I adore the macabre! This should be a zippy story to write. Instead, I’m dragging my feet and indulging in laziness. The turkey dinner’s in the oven and the dogs are fed and have been let out so it seems to me that it’s a prime evening for some work. Now where is my thunder, lightning and cold winds?

Oh no! :-0
I actually installed a notepad feature on my cell phone. That way even if I forget pen and paper, I still have a way to jot down an idea. It happened to me just the other day when I was out shopping! There I was in the middle of a store, typing like a mad person so I wouldn’t lose the idea!
HAHAHA no wonder they call writers crazy sometimes. I do a lot of mad scribbling in random places OR I’ll mutter the idea over and over until it’s either cemented and it’s ALL I can think about or I get a chance to jot down the idea.
I have a little Moleskine book that I used to carry around with me all the time but I’ve had a couple scares with losing it so I leave it at home now. I much prefer pen and paper but when my entire creative life is written down on paper, the thought of losing it causes heart palpatations (almost).
I’ll have to get a little pocket notebook that I can write stuff down in and then add it to my ridiculous paper pile of ideas. I love being creative and imaginative but who knew it would be so high maintenance? Sheesh.
