Funny how things work. I have been putting off for weeks doing some research that has to be done for the new book. And even though I had fun writing a couple of paragraphs for it, I haven't had the buzz about actually beginning it next Sunday - that's happened before and the minute I start I get the buzz right away. But yesterday something came into my head, a title really, a title I came up with about fifteen years ago and that David Wechter and I tried to come up with a film for - we did - pitched - came close - but no cigar. But the title is really good and it's kind of shocking no one's ever used it, at least to the best of my knowledge. And last night I started to think about what kind of story I could tell to go with the title. Tonight I began free associating on a blank Word doc and came up with something I thought could really be fun if I can figure out enough plot machinations and how to kick the story off and what it actually would be. But there's a germ of a really fun idea there and I'm going to spend the next few days making notes and if that has the buzz come the weekend, I'm just gonna go with it.
