Yesterday, under the guise of relaxing and doing no valuable work on Sunday, I ran across this contest. I don't know why I spent more than a second's time on it. The theme is lycanthrope (am I even spelling that right?) which is the term for were-animals (duh, says everyone else), and I don't do werewolves. I've never felt the least bit inspired by them. Sure, I'll watch a werewolf movie, but I wouldn't go out of my way to write/ watch/ meet a werewolf, unlike some other supernatural creatures. Still, the prize was nice, so I tried to think of a short story plot involving a were-badger or something, to no avail.

That was the end of it.

I thought.

I spent the entire night dreaming of werewolves. Not random ones. Just one pack. With a plot. With names, faces, the whole shebang.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to write it now. And I'm not entirely sure it will stay in short story format. Gasp . . . it might have to be a novel. Me. Writing a werewolf novel. What next?
