Ideas

So I have about half a dozen thoughts, ideas, titles, half finished stories and generally a bunch of other kernels of short (and long) stories that may eventually lead to a finished story.  Part of the problem is not having dedicated time to sit and write.  Another part of the problem is that when I do have time I could dedicate to writing, I end up doing other things like surfing the 'net, watching crap television or playing video games.  Sometimes I spend it playing the sax and that's not too bad a reason for not writing; at least I'm trading one type of art-form for another.

I've got a business trip next week to Minnesota, which means I'll have some plane time and, maybe, some time alone in the hotel.  I also won't have my sax with me so I am going to try to flesh out some of these stories and ideas.  Here is just a tease of the topics from stuff I've started, some of them are only titles; others are more developed.  I keep them in a folder called "Musings."

"Strangers in D.C."
"Parallel Lives"
"Smartphone Adventure"
"Conversations with Nell" (I just thought of this on my drive this morning)
"Stephan and Hubert"
...and a few others without title.

Wish me luck and send some thoughts my way, O Muse!
