I'm fully in Inklings Challenge idea-gathering mode and I'd forgotten how great it is. I just get to go through my day gathering potential story sparks. Anything could become a story. I don't need to stress over choosing one or committing to one because I don't know which genre I'm writing yet. I can build a basic concept, and then if it turns out it captures my attention come October, I've got a well of ideas I can draw from and add onto it. I'm just finding Legos to put in my toybox. It's so fun.

#adventures in writing #now that i've got a basic outline attached to the time travel concept #(just enough to give me a direction so i can discovery-write the rest)#it was time to turn my attention to other underfilled genre idea wells #intrusive fantasy's surprisingly tough to brainstorm ahead of time #because most of my ideas for that come from seeing things on tv or something #and going 'what if there was fantasy stuff?'#a constance sommers story would be an excellent angle on 'instruct the ignorant'#especially since i really want to write a religious scientist #and it would be fun to try to get her characterization closer to the initial idea post that sparked her #and have her dealing with people who think fairies are insects that people attach cutesy stories to instead of a unique type of animal #and the reason i made this post is because being in idea gathering mode #i saw a pbs documentary on in the background #saw a story about an astronaut married to a glass artist #and instantly thought 'aha! space travel rom com!'#it's just so fun
