Just a short post to remind my fellow creatives to hoard your ideas. Jot down those flashes of inspiration, save those false starts. You never know when they’ll turn useful. In my own case I started writing again after a long hiatus by working on a trio of short stories, all resurrecting ideas that in some cases were over a decade old.
The seed for Marked originated in some ideas I had in high school.
My current WIP started with an idea for a main character and a plot I’d been knocking around for ten years in one form or another, including three abandoned novel attempts, before I finally zeroed in on Jack in his current form.
You’ll never know when or how a stray idea might resolve into a full-fledged story.
