Modular Story Woes

Here I am writing a modular story. Or attempting to. It isn't going well. I've got ideas now, a plethora of them. But they aren't getting onto the paper. They're trapped upstairs, and I can't lure them out. That's a set of mixed metaphors, I know.


The theme is circus from hell. Not specifically, or anything, but in general feeling. There are a bunch of people (and a cat) who are connected through this woman. They're all crazy, in different ways. And they move through life in a hopeless fashion, unsure of themselves, and entirely unstable. I can only hope the humor gets through, since I'm shooting for morbidly lighthearted humor. The cast of characters and the humor is where I'm getting circus from, and the macabre despair they all feel is the hell part. See? Circus from hell.

More on this when it's written.
