Accidential scenes

Here I was, driving down the road the other day and a scene popped into my head for Sordid Games. Luckily, it was a back road, and I was nearly to a red light. Unluckily, I could only find a pen -- no paper! One frantic scrounge later, and I had the bar scene scribbled in mostly legible notes on the back of a business card.

Of course there was a car behind me, and the light was one of those sensor ones that actually works like it's supposed to. Typical. Still, I got it written down.

The plot to Sordid Games is a mix of Cruel Intentions, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and good ole fashioned family secrets. Oh...and sex. You doubted that? This scene has Catherine spying on her lover at a trendy restaurant while he's out with another woman. However, it's the bartender that really makes the scene. Dennis has some interesting tidbits for Catherine about her father, and his dining companions.

Another new one

I was going through old files, cleaning out my computer, when I stumbled across an uncompleted Christmas story. It's only about 10 pages, but as I read it over (and cringed, oh boy do I have some rewrites ahead of me!) ideas flowed and the muse was pleased.

*sigh*

At least this one has a title (Who Needs Mistletoe?). I'm still title-less on that other one. Nothing seems to work, and it's very frustrating.

Beach days

I adore the beach. And except for the sand in my laptop, so does my muse. After work I'm off to the beach to relax and have boardwalk food to inspire the senses. I can't wait, but it's a long time before 5 pm.
