So like a woman wandering down a branching trail in a chocolate forest I keep getting distracted from my goal.
I've this great idea for a book - that's cool right?
Yeah but there's this other idea - oh and that idea I had a long time ago that seems that it may work.
Then there's the part fantasy/part reality series of short stories that I thought weren't connected but now, after a spell away, I double take and I can see how a tweak here, a tweak there would give me a bunch of interesting characters that are not as dissimilar as I first thought.
I mean it's fiction, it's fantasy. As long as my internal world has integrity there's no reason why these worlds can't be separate bio-domes* in different areas!
Settle down brain ffs...
* None of those stories take place in a bio-dome it was metaphorical but... wouldn't a bio-dome or series of bio-domes make a great setting for a story. What about a robot programmed to maintain a series of domes on the darkside of the moon for human occupants who never arrive. And then the robot is actually - no wait, that's a bit too much like Wall-E. So either I have too many ideas at once or I find that my great idea is the least original thing EVER. I swear if I ever get a book finished it'll turn out to be identical to something published by a Lithuanian author as yet untranslated to other languages.
