I have a new story percolating. My writing process is very similar to Billy Crystal in Throw Momma from the train. I have to have a good opening line.

But it sure as hell isn't "The night was sultry"....

I get the opening and then the story comes from there. I don't usually have a full plot, and certainly not an ending when I start writing. This one is a new twist on a story I've had in mind for over a year now, so maybe it will finally get written...

Last night when I got up to pee in the middle of the night (too much caffeine after 10pm....) a new opening hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks. Except I wasn't much in the mood for writing at 3 am. And now that I have the time and space to write there's something keeping me from doing it. Even though I am still excited about the story.

Arrgh. Self-editing for no reason sucks.
