  "description": "I wrote about 600 words today on two projects. I like both of these ideas, but I'm not sure I can make either one of them a story. One is a weird crime that hinges on a reversal of a euphemism about graveyards and coffins, and it has the potential for some Evil Dead-like craziness. The other is a dark fantasy about a record store that allows people, under the right psychedelic conditions, to slip into a dangerous world just beyond ours.

One is a weird crime that hinges on a reversal of a euphemism about graveyards and coffins, and it has the potential for some _Evil Dead_ -like craziness. The other is a dark fantasy about a record store that allows people, under the right psychedelic conditions, to slip into a dangerous world just beyond ours. The dark fantasy one really speaks to me right now, especially considering my recent fascinations with jazz and progressive rock.\n\nI have other ideas kicking around as well, and I find that all really, really good stuff. When my head is swimming with ideas, they tend to bounce and riff off one another, and eventually something will gel and become a story.\n\nI think my newsletter for May will be about taking breaks, breaking the guilt cycle, taking care of your mind, body, and spirit, and sometimes just not giving a fuck about anything.\n\nIn the mean time, I'll be typing out a few words here and there, playing guitar, listening to kickass jazz and prog rock, and letting my mind wander where ever it wants to go.\n\npeace&love",
