You will keep noticing new shoots in prior writing, and one day, when you least expect it, you'll become obsessed with completing a story...one that demands telling. The key is to never stop writing, because if you back away from the keyboard, nothing happens.

The concepts or the character can be used either for its original design of for a better purpose yet to be determined. <br /><br />It is so nice when a thought process of concept A that was written two years ago, one day materializes when I was working on concept J of a vastly different but seemingly fitting storyline.<br /><br />My Lucifer's Travel's series was spawned from an eye of a potoatoe like you described and yes I spelled it with an e. Which led to the original title You Say Tornado, I Say Tornadoe.<br /><br />Point being is that you are spot on aboooot keeping storylines. Give them time to mature in your brain housing group and one day when the time is ripe, you'll be so happy you didn't throw out that potato just because it didn't look like something you would keep.<br /><br />Another great article of wisdome from a very great man and pool boy!Robert Babcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622550550652091564noreply@blogger.com
