I had a duh moment last night.
« on: September 05, 2019, 12:46:56 AM »
While I was reading last night, (Yeah I know I should be writing. If I wrote half as much as I read, watch out world. I got 60k last month. I really should complain, but...) I realized my entire series is based on a single word from a book I've read 5 or 6 times. It's not even one of my favorite books, though the author is high on my list.

It boggles my mind that a single word made that much of an impact on me and I didn't realized it until now. 

Have you ever had one of those moments?

Oh come on, tell us the word.  Pretty please.

It's not an earth shattering word. Also the title of my series, I think.

Is it freaky I just wrote it then deleted it.

All the more curious.  But I'm inspired by everything.  Guy walking down the street.  Alone?  There's a story.  With someone? Story. On phone? Story. Wearing sneakers or boots, jeans or dockers, button down shirt or tee, or hoodie?  Stories. Don't even get me started on the snippets of conversation I hear as people walk by.  Stories, stories, and more stories.

That's pretty close. For all intents and purpose close enough for the meaning.

I will give you star trek as long as it doesn't involve Kirk.   Though lightsabers beat phasers everytime.

I'll give you the lightsabers over phasers.  Can mine have a lavender beam?

Only if you don't mind twinning with me.
