I was walking down a stree...Ideas are funny things. I was walking down a street not long ago, when I saw a guy walking ahead of me, in a huge hurry. Something struck me as funny about his clothes. BAM! Story idea. It triggered some other things I'd already been thinking about, created questions in my mind, and everything started to come together. There was a lot missing from that idea, but I had an intriguing concept. Since I was wrapping up another project, I started this one, earlier in the thought process than usual, so there's been more pantsing, but I feel like it's starting to gel. I'll have to throw out or redo a lot of my early writing, but that's ok.
