Idea vs Story

Today I made my notes and fiddled with names and stuff for the new Haxan story. I have all that down, but it's only an idea right now. I don't see the story yet. I know it's there. I just have to dig a little deeper in the motivations of the characters to find it.

And that's cool. Sometimes story jumps right out from the idea and screams to be noticed. Sometimes you get the story in your head, but can't find the idea to use as a framework to tell the story.

I'll find it, eventually, I'm certain of that. Half the fun (oh, who am I kidding, all the fun) is finding it along with the characters themselves.
