Talkin Shop: Writing Superstitions

It's funny what sort of story ideas capture my imagination and what sort drive me to the page immediately.

In the midst of something like the latter. No story idea, just those characters/place/event. Playing reporter and following them around. Gets deep and twisted and complicated and so-very-human so quickly, doesn't it?

Going back to an old adage/superstition. Don't talk about the contents of the story until the first draft is done. A couple got away from me by talking about them.

But those are occupational hazards. • y a w n •

Now if you wanna talk shop . . . you know how to reach me.
