Oh, Muse, how thou art delicate!

So the idea is finally starting to take shape. Which means I'm also entering a state of drunken delirium.

Ideas are heady stuff (har har). Easy to get lost in.

This is a tricky moment - I can get lost in the excitement and begin to just write! without waiting for the idea to truly form. Or, I can exert enormous amounts of self-control and wait until I can see more details. Sounds like an easy decision, but have you ever tried talking logic to a drunk?

Giddy, giddy, giddy. That's how I feel right now. But there's no direction, no outlet to this giddiness yet. I need to keep waiting, keep searching, until I know more.

Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for employment so I can pay my bills. Blech.


DCH.


More inspiration:

As I have previously mentioned, I have been watching other shows and movies (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Girl, Interrupted) and have been searching sites on the internet (about The Mulberry Bush School and boarding schools in Canada) for inspiration.

Now, a few other things I've been looking at lately include:

Joan of Arcadia

The Veritas Conflict by Shaunti Feldhahn

and a few books from my local library on adolescent emotional trauma and its treatment.

I'm also thinking back to shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars, trying to glean my favourite elements so I can combine them all in my pilot.

I don't know if you can see where I'm going with all this - and you better not steal my idea if you do! - but it sure is making me excited...
