Free fall.

I've been in free fall for moments before. Just that one instant where everything falls away and you're floating in the space. Maybe it's just me but free fall isn't what everyone's afraid of. It's the stop at the end. Or maybe it's powerlessness they feel as they drop through space, unable to change anything about their predicament. I'm not talking about skydiving or anything. Just like... well when you fall out of a tree or trip over on something. I'm not saying that you should do it. Just that I personally find it very relaxing. Of course the pain afterwards is incredibly distracting and well painful, but for those few brief seconds, or maybe even less than a second I feel like I'm flying.

I have a morbid fascination with unpowered flight. It frequents my daydreams and I had some sketches and designs to build my own one. But that didn't "take off" so to speak. The same way my pontoon bridge and rope swing haven't. It's not that they weren't good ideas. Just that either materials or certain key details were missing.  Like I don't know where to hang the rope for the rope swing. And I have no real idea of how to build a glider and no idea what materials to use. And there are no ways for me to have an extended flight around here. And I said had because well, I used them to start a fire. I had nothing on hand but my sketch book and ever practical I decided to use that. By the time I realized what I was burning they were beyond salvaging. It might crop up later, when I have time and the money for materials. But for now I'm happy for it to stay where it is. Kind of dead and still kicking around in the back of my head. A lot of story ideas went there.

Things are still pottering along on the Pandora blade story. Although admittedly I have been distracted by an interesting concept that I have Red vs Blue to thank for. Season 6 with all those AI and Church thinking he's a person rather than an AI got me thinking. What if you had and organic AI? I dunno where I'm going with it but It's kicking around.

But something extra credit said also has me thinking. "There is no market for an Ideas guy." I can't hope to get prosperous or even sufficient on just having ideas. I need to learn to develop them and then turn them into something usable and tangible.
