lizzybennetI've been wracking my brain, trying to come up with a creative, original idea for a sci-fi story. I just can't do it. What happened to my creativity? I've often heard women say they lose brain cells with every pregnancy. If that had any truth to it, I'd have to say that Petey must have got all my imagination. It just seems to be gone. I used to have an imagination, I know I did. I remember making up stories and playing for hours on end. I need to find a way to tap into the part of my brain again.
My final sci-fi project doesn't have to be a short story. it can be a webpage examining a certain piece of literature. But I felt so excited about the possibility of writing my own sci fi story. But no. My brain won't cooperate. Maybe I should do some brain storming.
For example, tonight the boys asked me to tell them a bedtime story. In attempt to try and kick start my imagination I just started talking: "Once there was a little mouse who lived in the brain of an alien. The alien would die if the mouse left his brain," That's all I could come up with. It's so weak. Zack was like "And....?" I lamely said "and they had lots of adventures together traveling through time. It's late, aren't you suppose to be asleep already?"
Ok, enough with the self-pity. We watched the season premier of Heroes tonight. It lived up to my expectations, and more. I think I'll like this season just as much as the first. I left the room when Journeyman came on. I refuse to be sucked into any new shows this season (ha, I accidentally typed "new shoes"). My favorite line from the episode has to be Hiro: I broke history! Awesome.

Date: 2007-09-25 04:47 pm (UTC)I think your idea of the women not giving birth anymore is fascinating. And it doesn't have to be full on sci-fi - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein glossed completely over the science part of bringing the monster to life and focused more on the stories of the doctor and the monster.
I know you can do this. You are a creative woman. I love the story of the mouse living in the brain of the alien. How did he get there? How did he get to the Alien specifically? Why can't the mouse leave? How does the mouse help the alien?
Heroes was awesome! Mike and I have two theories: Either Hiro is the real hero that he read about OR the swordsmith's daughter is.
I cannot wait until Thursday: Office 1 hour premiere!!! Yay Jim and Pam!!! I got into The Office late last season and now I love it.
