Have you ever thought of a story idea and then rejected it right away?

I certainly have.

Goodness, I could fill a country county with all of the thoughts I’ve had that almost became stories but didn’t quite get there. Too many to count, my friend.

Given that I haven’t written anything down on paper over the past five years in regards to my ideas and suggestions, I guess it would be rather difficult for me to recall anything specific. But I can tell you for certain that I’ve passed on quite a few things.

Here are a few recent thoughts (story titles) that didn’t get to second base in my writing process, for one reason or another.

My Favorite Medium Writer. You just can’t do this type of story, can you? Of course not. What if the subject of the story doesn’t want the extra attention? It is just not going to happen, but it is fun thinking about what wonderful things could be written about the person. Maybe one day, of course.

My Hopes And Dreams. I guess I’m not in my prime any more. But I will tell you one thing and that is back in the day I was one highly-motivated soul who wanted to achieve greatness. I knew what I wanted to do and I pursued it vigorously, but I never got to where I wanted to be. It’s hard to handle, so I don’t want to talk about it.
