It occurs to me that there's been an awful lot of bitching and whining on this blog lately. So today, despite the fact I'm quasi-sick, no bitching OR whining.

Instead I'll give you the first sentence for a story that just popped into my head the other night, "The good news was, the zombie ray was a complete success". I'm not quite sure why but that sentence popped into my brain on Sunday night as I was trying to get to sleep. Almost immediately afterwards, an entire story came to mind.

My laptop was actually turned off at the time and I was curled up in bed so I was tempted to just write it down the next day. I was scared however, that I would forget about it and the idea would be lost. So I grabbed my laptop, curled up in bed with it and wrote down that first sentence as well as the basic outline of the story. I would have written more but I wanted to be up fairly early the next day so I figured it was a bad idea. Of course, I spent the next hour or so unable to sleep and thinking about the story so I probably would have been better off had I continued to write.

I haven't really had a chance to expand upon the basic outline yet as I've been busy with other things but I'm hoping sometime tomorrow (if not then, definitely Thursday or Friday), I'll have the time to sit down and write out at least some of it. I have a feeling it's going to end up being too long to use for class so I may just post it up here when I'm done and see what you, my 'legions' of 'crazed fans', think of it.
