Ok so, it has been a couple of days. A couple of days that has seen me listless, lacking direction, and quite frustrated. Kudos to my wife for putting up with me. I have been a little melancholy and not fun to be around.
So last night the baby woke up and was up for like 2 hours screeching. Nothing we did helped. Super duper frustrating. But it did give me the time to discover a story idea. I just recently watched season 2 of the walking dead and I had an idea for a story about a group of people who escape to a state park,you know the kind with one of those working pioneer villages, and they holed up there and began a simple and old style life. The characters were my family and Derek and his family. Just immediate family. The climax would kinda be surviving the winter or the birth of Derek's daughter. I don't want to kill off any of our families, but perhaps a few gathered along the way might die, possibly an injury to the family, i dunno.
The thought of using the blacksmiths workshop and farming the land and having the fresh water stream just make it a great idea, but i don't think many would think to live there, they would search for government help. Using the items in the museum in their originally intended capacity would be neat I think. The inherit failures that would follow while learning.
The weird thing about all of this, is I have been motivated to clean and organize all while this sits in my head. I plan to start writing when lily goes down tonight.
