Ideas are Scary Things
posted 2 months agoLast night, as I was driving home from Jon’s house, I got my latest story idea. I really like it.
It’s completely different from anything I’ve ever tried to write. I’m kind of intimidated by the idea, really. Maybe I’m just intimidated by not being able to do the story justice.
However, I realize that writing is an art that is only perfected in practice. I’ve realized that the more time I spend letting stories brew in my head, the more stories I lose. It’s like I can’t really write a story I’ve thought over too thoroughly. There’s got to be more gray areas in the story than clear ones in order for me to get something decent on the page. It’s all about exploration and discovery. Not strategy.
So, later this week, I will give this story a try, before I get it too mapped out.
I will either succeed or severely injure my pride trying. C’est la vie and bottoms up.
