Ok, I was reading a memoir excerpt in The Walrus just after reading an unrelated sci-fi story. Suddenly, the two began to merge in my mind...and I banged out a short story over two consecutive nights--a story I love--probably the best short story I've written to date. I'm editing the heck out of it at the moment, but I KNOW I'm going to submit this one to SIWC Storyteller 2012. I'm exhausted, overworked, experiencing a great lack of sleep, and sicker than ever, but the creative mind continues to work overtime--proving that you just never know when inspiration may strike.
One thing I know for sure--when inspiration DOES come, I've learned to drop other things and GO FOR IT!
Onwards...
