Holy cow, all I can say is this: you’ve got more ideas floating around in your head than I do! I know that I only write the ones that keep resurfacing, and I tend to drop the one-offs, the little sparks that I look back on and go “huh?” But there are some gems in there.
Some of these stories feel Black Mirror-esque, and I would LOVE to read them. But ditto on the essays, Meg!! The authenticity one snd self brand one especially. 🙂 (I feel like early 40s folks, straddling both Gen X and millennial sensibilities, can particularly relate.)
Eagerly awaiting Talk Fiction. Which is a GREAT name for a podcast. And I volunteer to guest on it as often as you'll have me. Just make me your default backup.
The Layover sounds like a good one! And I know the story behind the Secret sandwich and I LOVE it!! :) Thanks for sharing this...reminds me that even small starts and stories in our minds are still part of the process and count for something! I'm with you on the whole goal setting thing! :-/
I request a story for mothers

I don't think you should let any of these stories get away, but in particular I'd like to read Meatloaf Noir, Beta, and Heartbreakers.
Here's to a fruitful and energizing 2024.
This is so much fun to read!
Love these ideas - you have so many of them! Amazing!!

There's a lot you can do with the 'Man With the Exploding Heart', and 'The Layover'. So many ways you can go with both of them.
I place my order for Heartbreakers and Lionheart. And eagerly await more Homeraker. Thanks
❤️👍❤️
The Confidence Man, that sounds very intriguing to me. Self-confidence is such a fleeting thing. It comes and goes…
Meatloaf Noir please!
They all sound great, but I think Lionheart is the one I’d order. Really curious what you’d do with that premise.

Lovely post, Meg! Your fiction ideas and titles are inspiring. It’s great to know you can simply pull from these to get new stories flowing.
Can’t wait to read ‘em! 🥂
Please please please run with Meatloaf Noir !
That in-progress list cooks. Particularly hopeful for The Layover.
