When inspiration strikes out of the blue
Every writer has story ideas that hit them out of the blue.  I normally get these inspirations (posssibly neutrinos setting of my neurons? Is taht why they're called neutrinos?  Shouldn't it be neurinos in that case?) in the shower, but it can happen at any time.  Yesterday, it happened to me right after breakfast, a story that I have to write ASAP (fortunately it's a flash piece, which will get done on Monday evening - so I can get it out of my system) lodged iteself in my brain.

Also finished the first draft of a new SF story (I need to start writing my piece for the Shine antho soon) and wrote a little more into my translation of "The Surgical Option".  1300 words in all.

Seeing as how it was a neutrino shower, I knew it would be a Sci-Fi story :)

Yes, the fantasy stories come to me by special unicorn delivery!

Do they leave those deliveries still warm? :(

Woohooo for neutrinos. Or neurinos? Glad you got a new flash coming.

I love when that happens! I think Terry Pratchett called the particles "inspiratons" in one of his books (Wyrd Sisters?).

You're right. I'd forgotten that Pratchett had already named them...

You are an atomic powered writing machine! Or is that sub-atomic? I'd better stick to the oatmeal. Neutrinos for breakfast would make me too edgy.

Yes, the neutrinos aren't all that healthy, but one must make sacrifices for their art...

Neutrinos... the breakfast of writers.
We can't all be champions after all.

Totally. I sometimes get tired just seeing their commercials!
