So I have this idea for a cool story, but no idea how to execute it. That's always been a part of my problem . . . some of you dear hearts may be shaking your head right now and muttering, "One of many my dear . . ." Okay, I really hope you're not muttering that, but if you are, much love to you anyway. So back to what I was saying - I love to write. I always have. I also love to talk, which has gotten me into more trouble than I can tell ya, and the trouble began as far back as kindergarten. I just loved chattin' it up with whoever would listen. I accidentally skipped my special advanced reading class in the first grade because this little hispanic boy (whose name has slipped my mind ) was telling me this fantastic story about a flood near his house. He was an awesome storyteller!
I love to write, and sometimes I get these great ideas, but I just get all befuddled trying to figure out how to put it into a story. I think part of my problem is that I get bogged down with the details. Right away I think I need to have all the characters mapped out and the story "just so". Then I start worrying, "has this been written before?" "Who would want to read this?" Hello! I haven't even written anything yet! Myabe I just put crazy expectations on myself?!
So here's my idea: In the middle of the pastor's sermon on Sunday - and YES I was listening, this just barged into my brain out of nowhere, but it was such a cool idea, I don't think it could have possibly come from satan, ha ha - I thought, what if someone found this magic radio that when you tuned the dial it would tune to a favorite song of the person touching it, and it would literally take them back to a memory in thier life linked to that song? Y'know how when you hear a certain song it can just overpower you with the memory tied to it? Trisha Yearwood has a great song about this called, "The Song Remembers When". Anyway, that's my great idea. Or lame idea, what do you all think? Please please write me, and tell me your thoughts! XXX OOO

LOVE the idea. And don't worry, I wasn't listening either. ha ha ha :)
That is such a great idea! Let's see...high school prom would definitely be that one song by Kaci (or KC-?) and JoJo. Blah! Just HOW many times did they play that song!?!
Step by Step or The Right Stuff (New Kids on the Block)...choreographed dances at recess in the 3rd/4th grade!
Forever and Ever Amen (Randy Travis)=1st grade on the way to Six Flags--OH YEAH!
And that Spice Girls song for the "Censored Spice Girls"!!! Can I get a hoo-rah for Soy Spice! :) What WAS that song, anyway? And we can't forget "You know you make me wanna shout...!" was the "Heavenly Honies". :)
I could go on for a while, but I'll spare you! :)
