How in the world is this possible?  How can I have an idea decades old and I'm still holding on to it?  Is it possible that I struggle with letting someone else write it?  Truth is, I struggle with the reality that this story deserves a better writer, because I want it to be perfect.  Is that why it's taking so long?  Am I building my talent, and trying to get to the point where I"m good enough, or am I hoping that someone will step up and write the DAMN thing?  Lol.  You don't even know how long I have been working this idea in my head and it develops mostly with listening to upbeat alternative rock or techno music.  WOW, what the heck is this story and why is it so hard to let go of?  

It's not something I wanna let go of--so--that's why it's still there.  Am I going to reveal the story HERE?  Will I let people in and know what the story is all about?  I don't know, because I still don't know if this is going to get done, because I don't know if I'm the one to do it.  It's not the holy grail of of stories, believe me I'm not trying to say that it's the best story idea out there, because it's not.  I'm sure that there are plenty of great stories right here on GA.  There has to be.  These many writers and ideas, there are plenty of good stories that probably deserve this recognition more than mine (Guaranteed).

So what's the next step for this story?  You need to listen to NF (Lost in the Moment) and you will know what I"m dealing with.  There's a lot of pain right here in my brain, and sometimes I see my characters being the very ones that are there existing for me.  They're the ones looking back, waiting for me to bring them to life.  I saw a picture this week that inspired me to go for the next chapter in this story--"The King"-- On Netflix.  I haven't watched the movie yet, but the actor that plays the King (Oh my Goodness).  Just seeing his picture it made me think of my story, and the characters there were waiting to come to life.  I know I'm crazy (Lol).  So, answer the question - What is the next step?  

My next step is this, I'm going to hope that either I find my writing ability OR that I find a group of people that would interested in knowing more about the story.  Do I want to publish, or just put it on here--That, I don't know because I don't know how deep and complex it's going to be--but to wet your appetite and let you see what I thought years ago.  I thought this story was going to be the next Potter, the next Narnia and even Game of Thrones a run for their money.  Am I serious?  Yeah, and right now I'm so excited but yet it still sits there in my brain, developing and developing.

All this to say, if you have a story that you always thought of doing but thought WHY--Don't give it up.  Do it.  That idea may very well be your holy grail.
