write a novel

Some weird names I wrote down after watching an old episode of “The Muppet Show”...

- Angus McGonagal (The Argyle Gargoyle)

- Fas Fazakas (Special Effects Designer and Puppeteer)

These are notes that I had saved in my Outlook Tasks from many moons ago. They are fairly nebulous, but are still in line with my way of thinking. I’ve added a little to the items to clarify for myself.

1. Change in character from a talker to listener—impatient to patient

2. Music room – never refer to specific instrument – something like: “I picked up the horn I liked most back in the day, an old King model” etc. (I don’t really like this idea any more – I think it will be a piano player)

3. Opposites: ornate corridors with white plain rooms, or Plain Jane corridor and doors leading to colorfully decorated rooms

4. Opening in a cell, very plain minimalist white, feng shui (grey slabs, but still comfortable – just grey and completely non-descript – nothing to describe except shapes)

5. Prologue in bar talking to old bartender.

I’ve been wanting to explore the concept of Purgatory in a novel, where a man dies and is sent to Purgatory, where he must change and grow to survive and return. Nothing more in writing now, but I have lots of ideas on how I would like to do this, just not the desire to start it now.
