July 15, 2007:
Oh my, ideas abound!

The last few days, I’ve been getting tons of story ideas! I’ve been quickly scribbling them on the white board so I can “correctly” catalog them in the future. I’m not quite sure how to catalog them. I could make a file, I could try index cards, but I’m not sure if I like either idea because I could easily forget about them if they’re stuffed somewhere.

Right now I’m really trying hard to stick with “Morgan,” not just because I seem to be making slow but steady progress, but also because these story ideas I’ve been coming with will require some research. Unfortunately, I can’t just plunk down in front of the computer and just go. My newest story idea will need research in ancient history (maybe France, haven’t decided yet), occult, and symbols — just to name a few. While research isn’t a bad thing, it takes time and energy, two things I’d like to devote more to “Morgan,” at least until I finish the first draft!

But all these ideas make my fingers itchy. I have to keep reminding them that we have a job to do, and to stick with the program.

    I read your site and wanted to write you a story, so here you go!

    There was once a ‘young fellow’ called Bing Crosby - a rather unfortunate thing, do you not think! - and his friends humorously misnamed him as ‘Bling Crosby’, due to him being of a distinctly Blingeresque bent. It wasn’t until he was the ripe old age of minus himself that he realised that what this meant was nothing other than the dread hand of Cthulhu rising hairy from beyond the frigid grave. He propelled himself bodily from his chair, picking his nose, and declared that he must gain a snout of wisdom in order to sense out the mild and tangy smell of success.

    But he did not succeed, as too small was his will to power (TM Nietzsche).

    …How is John?
