Ideas

I have many ideas for short stories, but frequently when I sit down to write them, the ideas either fly out of my head and I stare blankly at the computer screen, or I begin writing them down and everything on the screen looks all wrong.  To try to combat this very thing, I'm brainstorming a little bit on this, my personal blog, to come up with good short story ideas.

Wires: An IT professional, working on computers and the like, is attacked by the very wires he works with.  Right now it's more of a general idea than a plot of a story, but it's a start.

The Forest: 5 boys are stranded in a forest, and must try to survive.  At the end of the story they are found by a hiking group... less than a mile from civilization.

The Battleground: Another main topic for short stories, about going to the grocery store.  Dressing for battle, dealing with difficult people at the store, etc.

The atmosphere of a ballgame: Just what it sounds like.  Description of the sights, sounds, etc. of a baseball or football game.  Because I like those things.

That's all for now... back to work!
