Midnight Brainsparks

I have a story. For months I've written half pieces and outlines to enter into short story contests that just don't seem to take off. About a week ago or maybe ten days, I wrote a short outline, nothing detailed, just eight points. It was part of a brainstorming session, so I had hoped it would spark ideas, but didn't really expect the little sequence to actually turn into anything. Last night between 11:30 and 3:00 am it bloomed into a full length story... that has nothing to do with the my starting theme and reads more like a screen play. I guess my muse doesn't like to be told what to do either. So I guess now, while I let the thing simmer, it's time to find a place for it.

The NONEXISTENT Rockway Press Short Story Contest

Rockway Press never actually posted the winners of the 2007 contest. Their site has entirely disappeared, and they're on the Preditors and Editors list.
