What a weird experience.  I had Africa and Hearing today.  I had a cool idea.  I know how most of the story goes, and I liked the idea.

I absolutely couldn’t write it.  I stared at a blank screen for hours.  Then I got grumpy, went for a walk, and stared at the blank screen for even longer.  It was crazy.

Then I took a bath.  And a different idea came to me–completely unrelated to this one.  So I sat down to write it, and it came out fine.  700 words about alien abduction and mistaken identity.

Very strange. I guess that was the story that wanted to be written today.
