Anyway, I was going through a box of writing notes and I found an email I wrote to a friend in June 2000. That friend named Amy H incidentally passed away two years later, which still makes me sad. I had written to my dear friend that I wanted to write a book of short stories called "Isn't it a Jupiter moment and other short stories of modern girl's life." I think that Jupiter reference must come from that Train song that I don't even know that I really like, and I have no idea what that story wouldn't have been about. But here are the titles to the short stories in this book that I wanted to write:
- Isn't it a Jupiter moment?
- My thing with Steve
- Putting up the Sun Shade
- His Tenses freak me out (this title makes me laugh)
- Art is scary
- The Bat Mobile Car
- Loking through a big glass ball
- The Blue Haired Buddah on Union Street
- We were just chatting online
- Dreaming of Texas (I turned this story into a novel)
- Watch out for the Gnats
- It's way to deep for me
- Flashbacks at the produce section
- Tall and white from Detroit
- Sundown on the Bay Bridge
- Four California Girls in a Car
I read the titles and I sort of remember why I wanted to write the story. But then there are some titles that I have no idea what story was supposed to go with that title.
As a friend would say, if you can't remember why you wanted to write the story, then it must not have been that important.
I am thinking it might be fun to do free writes on these titles just to see what comes out. And I can see myself doing that on a day when I can't work on the writing I am supposed to be working on, and I want to write something.
