Not sure what prompted this, but I was thinking this morning about...
I knew I was in trouble when I walked into my hotel room, and the little three-eyed alien stuck its head out of the closet and whimpered.
Who is this wandering stranger? Why are they in a hotel? And who is the little three-eyed alien whimpering in the closet? What happens next?
Go for it. Write that scene! You can use this to start a piece, and continue from there. Or you can simply write it into your story at an appropriate point. Or even trash it, but include the spirit of it in your story?
The key, of course, is to...
WRITE!
