I have the itch to write. I put aside the NaNoWriMo project after its epic fail last month. I want to write something, but I have no idea what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I sat down with my writing journal, and what came to me was a scene I had done years and years ago on another blog. I had Grim create a spell call the Cornucopia Spell that he put on a fridge. Anything you wanted would appear in the fridge. Cooked or uncooked, but just the way you wanted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, one of the characters in the hostel that the fridge was located in liked to “stump the fridge”. He created bacon ice cream. A long and very funny role-playing session happened (but not as memorable as Penis Coat in the D). I could do a short story with that character and the Cornucopia scene. It could be part of the Storyteller’s Tarot as the ten of cups (wish-fulfilment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I kept writing in my journal, I realized that there were a few other characters I wanted to bring out. Jules, the naive wanna-be hero; Eule, the prankster; Masonry, the anti-hero; and more from way back in City of Heroes and Champions Online. I have to go back to all the stories I’ve written (skipping Bomber because he’s quite dead) to get what I was trying to do with them. Do I want to bring them all out, along with Grim, who owns this hostel for “wayward boys” because he’s forced to do years of community service for a crime he committed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thing is, I don’t want to mine old stuff. But it seems to be the fastest way to get at anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll play with the idea. Let it stew and pull out old characters, read\/write them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe another Grimaulkin story might find its way out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
