For example, I was just watching a bunch of Cee-Lo videos, and the Cee-Lo in this video would make an excellent detective. Or the hero of my next romance novel.
And every time Prince does something batshit crazy I think: You can't write this stuff! His latest: He's not letting The Time perform under that name anymore, because he owns it. They've renamed themselves The Original 7ven.
Of course, I've also always wanted to write a romance with Morris Day as the hero. "Why don't you stay awhile? See how it's done!"
Lately Prince has been making comments about how people don't know that HE wrote songs like "Nothing Compares 2 U." He's being all pissy about any song that's ever been recorded by another band. What a hi-lar-ious dude. So needs to be a side character.
So how do these "would make a great story/character" flashes present themselves to you?
