Finalizing...

All set for tomorrow's trip. Not really looking forward to it, but it's short and I'm driving so have flexibility I wouldn't have by flying. And the good thing about driving is my mind goes into reboot or recharge mode and I might be able to figure out what I want to do, next.

Suddenly I've been thinking about The Alice '65 and shifting it back into a screenplay. Why? No idea. I don't really know how to write scripts that get sold, and towards the end of my writing them working up one that would even do well in competitions. I never did write according to Syd Field or Save the Cat kind of nonsense, and I think it put readers off.

I had a lot of fun with DDC...and now sort of want to do something...I dunno, not meaningful, really. A story that sets out to drag you into their view of the world does not interest me. They're usually overbearing, and I don't like them. Nor do I have the talent to make it work, even if I did try to do it.

It's just, while I'm still sort of thinking about Simon's Murder...it remains as a very quiet story in my head, to the point I didn't like the title being along the lines of The Murder of a Quiet Man because it was too obvious. I'm not writing a murder mystery, with that story, so not sure how it would come together.

There's Dair's Window lurking in the background. And coming back from Baltimore, I'd pass through Corning and could hop by the glass museum, again. Even though I've been there three times, already. But see if it juices me up.

One project that's nudging me is making an inventory of my books. I don't have a list of them, in case something should happen and I need to replace them. Which is a thought. I do have one for my DVDs, just so I won't accidentally buy one I already have a copy of.

I dunno...we'll see what tomorrow brings.
