the idea is not all that counts. the idea is nothing at all until it has been lassooed, corralled, mutated, shuffled, blended with other ideas, and then expressed over the medium of however many thousand words that you have selected and arranged as best you can. the idea is a promise, not a book.

I am not aware of a single author who has a shortage of book ideas. Words, yes. Ways to make the ideas become a book, yes. But I've never met an author who doesn't have ideas just raining down all the damn time.

Two small humans (3 & 6?) are pleading with Dad to take them to the bouncy castle.
Jumping up and down, circling him while skipping and roaring: "PUHLLLLLEAAAASE."
Dad's mouth twitches before he says deadpan: "Yeah. I dunno. You look too bouncy to go on a bouncy castle."
Outraged howls ensue! (4)
