This is what a massive overhaul of an old idea for a story that you think you might be able to salvage looks like. Isn't that awesome?Got some really bad news about one of my cats today so I haven't been able to do any actual thinking. Instead, I just keep going through this old manuscriptlet and gutting it of whatever good ideas were inside. There are a couple (they're in the highlighted bits).
A friend's friend who is also a writer got extremely lucky today. He shared a cab with a random guy and forgot his lunchbox when he left. Inside the lunchbox, among other things, was a notebook containing all his ideas and notes. Because sometimes things really do work out all right, my friend was looking on Craig's List and happened to see a post from the guy who found the lunchbox and wanted to return it to him. Who says there aren't any good people in the Windy City?
