This time I'm on to something

[wayfaringwordhack]

Yesterday, in my search for a new MacGuffin for Witherwilds, I happened across a word that got my mind to churning over possibilities.  One possibility, coupled with some tidbits thatslmcgawhad thrown at me, kept me awake until the wee hours of the morning. When I awoke, the two ideas had gelled enough to convince me I had something viable. 

When I ran the idea by slmcgaw, she gave me her two supportive thumbs up, and further creative dominoes fell into place, the kind of things that are so right, I can feel them. I suddenly remembered a detail from a freaky dream I had two nights prior--just after the gutting--that made me go, Ooooooh, freaky. Just how much does my brain know or figure out on its own before it finally decides to share?

I don't have all the kinks worked out yet, for verily, new Macguffins that are more than mere Objects of Interest mean new problems to solve. Still, the rightness of what I've figured out so far assures me that the rest will occur to me in good time.

That's why I love the hindmost part of the brain so very much. Go, you.

I love it, too. I wish it would speak to me a little more frequently or immediately, but I guess that might take away some of the magic. And who knows, maybe I'm not always ready to listen.

What's a MacGuffin?

And I am heartened by your renewed enthusiasm. :-)

Only my MacGuffin has become an even more integral part of who my primary society is.

Hmm. I feel the need to name a character that now.

A tribute to the Great Hitchcock!

Sounds like good progress.

*nods* I have a lot to figure out still. So much so that it could get me down if I let it; I'm just determined that it won't. The answers will come to me in good time. Until then, I have to keep reminding myself to be flexible, not hold too tightly to certain ideas, thereby rejecting other good alternatives.
