The Desperate Search for a New Idea...

I think I have it...

Not a truly different idea in that it's completely unheard of on any level..

But I had quit story-telling for a while because I couldn't think of something genuinely new and interesting. Different in terms of style, structure, and idea. As a fiction writer...I tend to want to create something. To flex my imagination rather than offering stylistic renditions of the same types of stories.

Only problem is...I think I will never complete it in time.

I know...cryptic. Useless...but this is more a time-stamp for myself. Maybe, in time, someone will look back on this and understand.

But right now it's just a seed. It's one small thing...but it's so different I'm wondering how to explain it. How to work with it. It's like having created a new language, but realizing you are the only one who will understand it, lol. I would have to both introduce the idea and educate the reader on the idea without being tossed into the over-expository bin.

But I think the magic number is three. I need three such ideas before I can write something good. Or, at least, different. Maybe it will be different but absolutely boring and get tossed anyway... What a risk it is to write.
