A story has been bouncing around in my head the last month or so. It started out simple enough, and I've been chipping away it ever since, revealing more of it as I think about it longer. I haven't written any of it yet, it's all just sitting in my head right now.

Part of the reason for that, of course, is the fact that I simply don't have the time to write creatively these days. While I surely could find the free time, it's not the right KIND of free time, and I'll explain what I mean.

I write my best when I'm able to block out about 4 hour windows of time to dedicate solely to writing and thinking about the story I'm trying to create. The free time I have these days is in-between any number of interruptions that accompany my every day life. I have no such 4 hour blocks.

And for the story in my head right now, I need those blocks. Quite possibly, the idea I have is too big for me, too big for me to even attempt to write. If I ever do get started on it, I'm quite certain it would be my magnum opus. And certainly spanning across several books, not just one.

I know the first line, though.

"The red-skinned demon cracked his whip, but Nox had resolved that his days being a tortured slave were over."
