tanaiseWhen I am walking, and especially if I am holding a book, I will usually go over and over bits and pieces of it in my head--setting, or characters, or testing the plot points. Something.
So, today while walking, I was thinking of one of my stories which I call Glad (from the Travis song that started it--"I'm glad you're better now, but i'm sad you're not around"), but which is actually titled "Substance Sensibiltrice." And I was running my mind back and forth over the characters, and the situation, and what I have written about it, which is the usual first 5 pages that I will later cut but that has all the back story in it.
And then I get to the T, and am distracted by all the getting my wallet out and not being chomped by the doors and such. So I end up on the escalator, sort of drifting again--I'm utterly exhausted today--and I start thinking "man, that was a good story I was reading on my walk here, where did I put that book, I should finish it."
Hopefully this means the story will stay in my brain long enough for me to get it written down (and I also figured out what to do with the good bits of the other story I had written about something like this, but had ended up stuck and sucky). But I make no bets or promises.
