Don't you hate it when a story just will not cooperate? I have the coolest idea (although I know trying to explain it to people would make it sound really corny, hence the temporary title of 'Vampires... IN SPACE!') and I just cannot get a plot to work with it. I swear I have started something like seven stories based on this idea, and I get about a page maybe a page and a half into it only to have it keel over and die a horrible twitching death. What gives?
Anyone else ever get a really good idea, but not a plot? Did you give up? Eventually get a plot to go with it? Beat the keys on your keyboard until through the sheer force of a thousand monkeys something resembling a story came out?
Any hints? Tips? Tricks?
