Well, thank you very much, brain!
The other night, as I was engaged in the oh-so-inspirational task of folding sheets, my brain supplied to me a really interesting opening line for a story. Since I had a feeling I'd never remember it, I jotted at down along with the 2 or 3 paragraphs that flowed along after it, and the idea's been playing on my mind over the last couple of days.
I've just been noting down what I know so far about the general storyline and the smigeons of information I've gleaned about the two main characters... and I realised there's no way I can give this story a happy anything - not even HFN - without a literal deus ex machina.
I guess that's what happens when one of the characters sells his soul to the devil, eh?
So, yes, thank you very much brain for giving me a great idea I'll probably never be able to sell! Ah well, it'll be fun writing it and it's not like it'll be a quick write anyhow. Who knows what the publishing market will be like in 30 years time?
