I’m working on a story for my 9-year-old about a super-fast purple pangolin named Cosmic. It may have been inspired by a video game about a blue hedgehog.
Anyway, in my sleep last night, my sleeping brain became convinced I should also write a story about an orca named Ekko.
Sleeping brain’s idea was that I could release “Cosmic the Pangolin” and “Ekko the Orca” as a book together called something like “Two Sagas” — the title definitely had to involve “Saga” as it was a play on “Sega.”
Now that I’m awake… I still kind of like it…
I can tell I’m getting close to the end of the robot story I’ve been writing, but the emotional arc of the robot is veering away from the end I had planned… so… I may have to figure out a new ending.
