Story Ideas...
Okay, really, really, I need to finish The Winged Fae. And it's getting there! 14,000 more words to go.
But I woke up in the middle of the night with an Irishman, different story, something to do with my driving on the wrong side of the road, etc, and getting asked out to a nice dinner...
And then, I began thinking of a picture of a lovely redheaded girl that I have and want to make into a cover (maybe brought on by the Irishman dream, although he was not a redhead), and I began thinking about The High Elf. Which would be a sequel to The Shadow Elf.
And I couldn't let it go.
I tell myself, I might not write the story. That I loved The Shadow Elf, but hadn't "programmed" in a sequel because I'm writing Tom's story, and need a vampire YA sequel, and I'm already thinking of the sequel to The Winged Fae. And I've started the next jaguar book. And I still need to finish edits on Ghost when I get them. Yet...this new story has caught my attention. Soooo....who knows!
This morning, it's going on a page, with a title and the opening idea. Sometimes that's how a story begins. Slowly, and then with a burst of writing.
So if anyone loved The Shadow Elf...The High Elf might be on his way! :) Never can tell!
But today, I'm off to work. I really hate working both Friday and Saturday and then having only Sunday off before the awful hectic Monday coming up.
*sigh* Hope you all have a delightful weekend!
I'm off to think about fae and elves, and werewolves and such!

I so agree, Rachael! :) You just never know!!! :)I was told once that if you think of something, don't write it down, and you forget what the story was about, then it doesn't have sustainability. But if you think of an idea and it keeps nagging at you--scenes and characters begin to fill your thoughts...then maybe, that's the one you've got to write. :)
hehehe yeah :) sounds really good .......
Hi Terry. I love your post to Rachael. My friends and family always get a good laugh when I post on Facebook that the characters in my head have gotten so loud and insistent that I have to write their story. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
I will say that almost all of my story ideas have come from dreams. Now if I could just make the connections and get up the nerve to actually take those written stories and do something with them.
hehe love ya post too trina :) whats ya fav type to write about hope ya publish something (and if ya do make sure ya remember ya first fans ya met here on good reads heh)
for sure .. ive written a few (non published) mainly for the fun of it but do lo the paranormals and my new fav genre to read Hot Highland men :)
Absolutely, Trina! It's good to know we're not alone. LOLAnd Rachael, hmmm-hm on the Hot Highland men!
