You know I got an inspiration while driving home tonight from a football game. I went on an old country road that rarely sees cars when it came to me to do a short story about a road. Now the silly idea I got is I could do several short stories tracing the back to an origin of the original haunting of said road. Sure it maybe a cop out since everyone has probably done a hitchhiker out n an old country road story, but most are one of short stories. I'm thinking I could write around 7 stories in different time frames describing the haunting. All tales have an origin right or why else would people keep trying to meet up and look for the ghosts.
I'm sort of vampired out, but I could implement part of this tale into my current piece of work, but I'm thinking it would just make it too convoluted. I'm at about 1/4 of the way through that tale and adding in more elements really would most likely extend the tale. Now if I do it as a separate entity and build up seven short stories (roughly 15,000-25,000 words each) And write an epilogue I feel that way I'd be technically working on a second novel at the same time.
Still priority one is the mystery I'm writing, but I guess it's always nice to have secondary ideas for your next piece of work. Writing so far today has mainly been brainstorming. I however do plan to add a few pages here to the vampire project. I realized I sort have left the reader wondering for awhile what is going on with an infected victim. Overall I think I should make some good progress tonight.
I keep finding strange places to go to give me inspirations lately.
