I have often thought that I would like to write a novel or a short story, but until recently, I had not had a story idea that I could develop beyond just an idea or that was not just a clone of a Neal Stephenson or William Gibson story.
Well, two weeks ago, I think I had that idea. A germ of an idea that hopefully has potential to develop. That potential would seem to be confirmed by a rail journey to work last week, where a whole stream of ideas, concepts, and scenarios flooded into my mind; so much so, I had to buy a notebook at the station so I didn’t lose them.
So I have these great ideas, but still no real plot or characters. I have a loose concept for the plot, but can’t quite work out how to develop it into a full plot.
I think there is a main character lurking in my unconscious just waiting for the right moment.
I guess I need to sit down and really think about this and try to promote more ideas…
