Yet another day of brainstorming and research without much actual writing being done. Doesn’t help that the weather’s been sporadic and the times I’ve wanted to spend indoors has been spent outdoors working in the garden.

Anyway, I’m thinking the next couple of flash pieces I write will be written as news articles. I’ve got a couple of ideas that, if executed properly, will be short and funny. One will be dealing with vampires and the NSA, while the other will deal with the tendency for heroes in old tales (Or in the back story of newer tales) to seal away monsters rather than kill them outright when they’ve defeated them.

Tomorrow’s another day that will be hit-or-miss weather-wise. If the weather’s bad, I’ll be writing all day. If the weather’s good, I’ll be working on gardening before the weather gets bad.
