.....

It's been a while since I've posted. Haven't got any readers so it's not like I'm letting anyone down. I haven't really got too much to say. Work is cool, SO's happy, cat's fed...life is okay. I suppose I don't need to wait until something monumental happens to write, but my daily life is pretty routine and blase so I kind of avoid posting. I'm going to write daily now, or at least every other daily.

I'd like to write a fantasy novel, honestly, so this blog seems like small potatoes. Unfortunately you need a story to write a book, and I haven't got one. I have ideas, I've thought about writing about a family of cat people who have a blood feud with a family of werewolves. It's a very vague idea, and certainly not a story, and nearly a rehash of Twilight. Meh.

Where does a plot come from? I cannot imagine where writers get their ideas! Like J.K. Rowling, for instance. I read that she came up with the idea for Harry Potter while riding on a train. What an 'a-ha' moment that must have been. It gets worse when I remember that J.K. (we're on a first name basis, didn't you know?) only really had the one story, writers like Stephen King and Piers Anthony have hundreds between them. My head spins.
