ljgeoffTo take my mind off recent developments, especially since brooding and even, at this point, planning, is pre' useless right now, I have been thinking about stories.
Thinking about my last two stories, I realize that I like writing about love. About how love works, what it looks like, how it can be used. I like to apply the laws of conservation to people, actions, and emotions. I like to tell stories about how even something that looks like despair may be winning.
Because stories have to be interesting, they are usually about some kind of crisis -- man vs. nature, man vs. man, man vs. self -- and all that jazz.
I want to write a quiet story, though. Something that focuses on nature, on inner forces. Hmm. Fecundity and birth. The growth of ideas or fruition of plans. Hmm. Hmm.
