Angel of My Dreams

Since last night, I've been thinking about starting a new story instead of using an old one for the whole mentor/understudy project. One of the reasons for this is that I want to try something new which I can send to the Phaze and Silk's Vault contests. Not that I'm interested in winning. I'm scared of those contracts, you know? Just for fun. Maybe get my first rejection letter? Anyway, the truth is my mind was blank. Sure a few very general ideas floated around my (very sore) brain (the Advil barely took away the pain), but nothing that would grab my attention. It's just that I didn't have a title suitable for any of those ideas. Oh, I know some writers don't care much for titles since editors and publishers end up ditching them. Yet, I have to work around a title. No title, no story. What can I say? I'm weird that way. So here I am at work, my mind swirling about what to write. It's a slow day so I popped a CD on the computer when this song came up. Sometimes The most beautiful things The most innocent things And many of those dreams Pass us by Keep passing us by So I close my eyes softly Til I become that part of the wind That we all long for sometime And to those that I love Like a ghost through a fog Like a charmed hour And a haunted song And the angel of my dreams - Stevie Nick's "Angel" Ah... I can always count on Stevie to bring me some inspiration - and the right title for my next story. *g*
