ME: Chat GPT, suggest me a short story idea.
CHAT GPT: I think you should write about a kitten who -
ME: - who unexpectedly becomes the Ascendant Warrior, uniting a team of heroes from across the Multiverse to combat a poorly-understood threat from another Multiverse. After an epic journey across the Ninety-Two Planets, during which she is transformed into a half-dragon princess with psychic power over small items of furniture, she -
CHAT: Um, dude? You all right?
ME: -then the love hexagon resolves itself violently during the battle with the Quantum Witches for the Time Police Headquarters. End of Part One. Of seven.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Or maybe try to have a lucid dream in which you can get an idea for a fic - once I dreamed the WHOLE idea for a horror novel - from the very beginning to the very end :mrgreen: Let alone many ideas for short stories - also horror ones.

Btw, once I had a dream in which I got inspired when it comes to some Peter Pan fic of mine - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7608134/1/ ... Lost-Girls

A few chapters back, I thought I was starting "the second half of Act 1". (I say "chapters," but they're tiny.) Since then....

...the number of chapters it'll take to get through the plot without rushing it is steadily increasing. Plus, some major characters are going to be offstage for way too long, so I need to find things for them to do. Plus, I plugged a gap in the story with a new idea for an action scene. Plus, that action scene means I kind of have to bring forwards a flashback sequence I was going to leave 'til much later in the story. Plus, the flashback sequence is also getting longer....

So, it's more like "the last three quarters of Act 1." Gives me hope I may someday manage to write a novel - I'd just have to start a short story!

I want to finally finish my two novels - both are horror ones :D The idea for one of them came to me in a dream - yes, I once dreamed the whole idea for a story from the very beginning to the very end :D And today I dreamed about the characters from my "Lost" fic :)
