I swear, sometimes I'm like a little kid who enjoys what he's doing until a butterfly flutters by and I all but forget what captivated me moments earlier. As proof of being an accomplished procrastinator, I hit page 25 of my spec some time ago, put the thing on the back burner and ran off to play with something sparkly. I felt guilty about it, but some good did come from the time I spent on one of my other hobbies - I developed a new idea for a spec based on what I was doing. It's a subject I know a fair bit about, I enjoy it, and the story I have in mind fits into my preferred genre like a glove.
And the timing couldn't be much better. I start my online course next week and the story I was planning on using for the class was kind of fizzling for me creatively, whereas this new one has me totally jazzed and the ideas for it are flowing like a torrential rain storm. Oddly, much of this new story takes place in the same location as my other one and it wasn't at all intentional. Makes me wonder if some unseen force is leading me to write about this place - a place I've still never been, but feel as though I know as well as my own hometown.
I'm looking forward to next week. I'm a little anxious, a bit apprehensive, but mostly excited. Let's see where this thing takes us.
