Okay, you know what I hate?

I hate being that person who could potentially say to a writer, Heeeeeeeeeeey, I have this here great story .....

Because I do.  The other day, during my evaluation, when I was free-associating while teaching "Bluebeard," I hypothesized the story where the key in question is a network key, and the closet of the villain is the one our heroine discovers when she snoops in his e-mail to find that he's on the d-l.  I even have a title.  "Beard."

Since the 'Gnu got his new job, I've been itching to write an "East of the Sun" variant that has a bride tracking her errant husband across various time-zones.

(Yes, god help me, as a fairy tale specialist, I married myself a beastly bridegroom).

I want to write stories where fairy stepmothers dance at their daughter's wedding's in hot red shoes, and I have a whole thing planned out where Captain Hook hires Mary Poppins to quell that enfant terrible, Peter Pan.

But I just don't seem to have the time, and I hate it.

And now, I want to write something about Father Time chiding his daughter about prioritizing, because god knows my father does it to me. 

Aaaaaaaaaaargh.

It's like I managed to pick up a Muse in place of the stomach-flu that  I rightly ought to be having as a professor.

Heh - now all I have to do is figure out how to write the damned thing.

what you do is keep pen and paper on you at all times and write it sentance by sentance as it comes instead of forcing yourself to sit down and go begining to end. much more time-effective.
