I woke up early today and decided to use the time to sort through some of my old stories and update my story idea journal. I’m a bit frustrated with the direction the current story headed, and I wanted to go through what I already had, and what ideas I had, and possibly start on something with more promise.

At one point I had started to rewrite it, but it fell to the wayside and I forgot about it. I have a few stories in need of revision before I start submitting them, and a handful of ideas to explore in new stories. Either way, it feels good to shift attention to something a little different. The current WIP is feeling quite stale and clichè
