for me, at least, writing is not my day job. I don't know how others do it, but a story line will get stuck in my head and for a bit my muse will have me rolling out words.
that's great.
I don't start a story with an outline of how the thing will go. Plot shows up as the muse directs.
That's great, too.
Downside? The muse decides that's all she's doing with that story.
Such is the fate of Hurricane, Laura. As you might know, a lot of the story is wrested from our record-breaking hurricane last year. The area's still recovering. Since then we've had another hurricane, a record-setting cold spell, and two weeks ago, the most rainfall in recorded history. People who were just getting homes together after Hurricane Laura found their homes inundated when flash floods - what you get when you dump fifteen inches of rain in six hours - pushed water into homes.
But the story? She is done.
Others await.
Thanks for reading, and for all the comments.
