Brainstorming...

Wow, last post in april. That's pathetic. Anyway, this blog won't be used very much except to wrote down little idea here and there.

So I was talking to my self in chat - Mer, Marty, JS and the gang were all in bed - as I should be too, but I digress, I was talking to myself about this thing I'm writing. It's sad how I, a writer with Final Draft at her finger tips can only open up MS Word and jot down a few ideas, but then, that's what brainstorming's all about, ideas.

So what I have so far is a story about parenting ... I don't think I quite understand my story, I'll have to get it put in perspective by my grandmom or mom and see what they think, but what I have so far is this:

Ethan - the protaginist - after a series of adventures, finds' himself on an island with his true father, the one who orchestrated all the events leading up to this one moment. See, Xander - Ethans' stepbrother - was meant as an attractant for Ethan, so that Ethan's true father could finally have both his sons together and join with him, spiritually and physically. But Ethan despised the fact that his father was a man who would do anything to get what he wanted - which was basically, his two boys.

Ethan, being biased and close minded to what his father was rejects his father for a number of reasons. Killing his mother in his conception, killing his father's mistress, killing all those people on the jet just so that he could awaken Ethan's stepfather's child which was still in the belly of his dead mistress, killing his father, and now - the last straw- asking him to give up his human life for what Ethan considers to be no true life at all.

I continue here myself with the father's grief over his sons rejection and sics his brother on Ethan. There is a fight - quite Oidepal, I guess, perhaps not Oeidipal, probably more just the Osiris/Seth tryst, the battle between brothers, and Xander is more his father's son than Ethan. Ethan in attempting to kill Xander - or rather defend himself, stabs instead, his father. They collapse together onto the beach as Ethan, suddenly overcome with guilt tries to comfort his father who says with a weak smile, "Son, this is all I ever wanted all along." And Ethan looks at his gands, realizing his father's blood is all over them, so he says, "What does this mean? What does this mean, you bastard??" There he turns instantly vicious as he knows something's horribly wrong then Xander comes up behind him and takes him in a violent bear hug. They both turn into water and flush down into the beach and ...now I'm stuck - is this the end? Does the son become the father? Should there be some turn of luck and Ethan somehow defeats Xander/Father and returns to his normal being? What? I'll think it up later...anyway, It's time for Golden Girls.
