Inspiration Struck

[Lugnutz]

I got the basic idea from a friend. now to see where it goes. Here is the beginning. I have a couple more pages in and this might just write itself. I'm planning on it being a long short story.

Take two guys. One that can drive anything, and the other someone who can find anything no matter how hard it may be to find and build it. Will it be paradise, or will it be trouble?

Lets get started.

David McCallister seemed like he wanted to drive right from the womb. His parents helped him with various go-carts and small dragsters as his talent, his body and mind grew. Evolution was a constant and kept upgrading his current mode of racing as the years piled on each other. He did dirt circle track racing in the beginning with various cars for a few years, but the allure of going fast in a straight line drew him in hard.

Blake Spear grew up poor but knew how to use his hands and could put things together from the scrap bin that would boggle the mind. People would see his latest creation, scratch their heads and then have to pick their chins off of the floor when they seen it run. A pile of crap was beating the big money racers. He could drive but it really wasn't his forte. He wanted to build them and watch them work.

I want to read this story.

[Camy]

I want to read it too.

[Merkin]

I want to read it this year.

[Cole Parker]

Say, I wonder? What if those two guys got together? Nah -- that would be too big a coincidence.

Don't know. You'll have to wait until I cross that bridge.

[Lugnutz]

4 pages and 1000 words. This might be something.

[Lugnutz]

10 pages and 2500 words. I need to work on my past/present tense because it erks my editors. Maybe I'll leave it to give him something else to bitch about other than more drivel from Lugnutz he looks at.

I am thinking that the cars will play second fiddle to the characters. No notes or anything. Just out of my head. The characters tell me too. The idea for this story wasn't supposed to center around a race track but that's what came out.

[Cole Parker]

'Tis wise to listen to your editors. Well, that's what mine tell me.

[Lugnutz]

I am catching them. At least most of them. I'm a rookie.

[Lugnutz]

It doesn't write itself. It's nearing the end too.

[Merkin]

It doesn't write itself.

A good motto for all of us.

[Lugnutz]

It's trying to nail the ending without it sounding like verbal diarrhea.

[Cole Parker]

Yes, best avoid that. For all our sakes.

Who wants to go over this before Mike gets it? It's done and gone thru a couple edits. I just need another set of eyes.

PM if interested.

[Lugnutz]

I went over it a couple more times. Mike has it now.

[Lugnutz]

Deleted here due to lack of interest.

[Lugnutz]

Nobody will read this, so why bother.

[Lugnutz]

Bleh.
