Ever have any ideas that you thought were sublimely inspired, only to discover or decide they werent all that great?


I have close to a hundred story ideas that never made it to paper, or never got past the first page or two because they were unworkable, pointless, or just plain bad.

some examples:

when i worked at Fidelity, i had to go up a stairwell to get to the cafeteria, and was usually alone. I thought up a story of a cynical businessman who is warned by a young boy not to go into the stairwell to avoid the elevator crowd in a skyscraper. He scoffs, takes the stairwell, and gets chansed and eaten by a giant spider creature.

I shafted the idea because it is used, boring, and about as original as a pong knock off
