That&#39;s good, right?<\/p>\n<p>Except&#8230;there&#39;s this other idea. Another <em><strong>new<\/strong><\/em> idea. It came to me after reading a few lines of an article. There I was, happily diving into a little light reading and bam! Two sentences in and there was a flash in my head of a story idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m not complaining. I love it when that happens. But didn&#39;t I already mention that I have <a href=\"http:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/2010\/01\/14\/wip-wednesday-be-your-own-carny\/\" target=\"_blank\">a WIP pile<\/a> that rivals my collection of argyle socks? (Author&#39;s Note: I have many,many pairs of argyle socks)<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I&#39;m kind of torn. My pile of WIPs is eyeing me suspiciously now. But what have those WIPs done for me lately? If the words (and ideas) were flowing, I would have completed them already. All I&#39;m doing is running where my Muse takes me. I can&#39;t help it if this Shiny New Idea seems to hold more promise at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m a magpie. I like sparkly things. And this new idea &#8211; she&#39;s all blazing and brilliant right now.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh&#8230;shiny!<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>My Current WIPS<\/strong><\/u> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a tweet-inspired tale that creeps me out a bit.
