The Stare

There's this little thing I do when I'm "writing" something in my head and not yet writing it down or typing it.  I call it "The Stare."  I'll look to the right or left or down and just gaze right through whatever is in my path.  I go into an almost trance-like state.  It's as though my eyes are closed because all I'm really seeing are the ideas.  I do it when an idea strikes me.  I do it during the conceiving stage of any story, book, or short film idea.  I did it just today when I was thinking of this blog entry.   My wife is familiar with "The Stare."  "The Stare" is more penetrating at the very genesis of any new idea.  I feel sorry for whatever it is I'm subconsciously staring at as I build story plots and create characters because it's taking quite a punishment from these eyes.  I wonder if I smile while I do it; finding satisfaction as all the details unfold within my head.  Nah, I don't think I smile, but I do get excited.
