Jake and Darcy is the first fictional work that I embarked upon that was not meant to be a short story. The genesis of it was driving home from work one day and I saw a girl throwing a ball to herself in her backyard, not far from where I work. My mind immediately went into fantasy land and I was trying to figure out why this poor girl was all by herself, on a beautiful summer afternoon, stuck playing by herself. Where were her friends, her family? Didn't she have anyone to play with?
And I started to fill in those blanks and the first portion of Jake & Darcy was born. As of this writing, I have 8 parts finished. I haven't worked on it in over a 8 months, but I think I may well get back to it. I think there's a good story here, somewhere. I can't promise I'll finish it, or even continue on it any longer, but I figured I'd throw it up here for the hell of it.
Who knows, Jake & Darcy might both have something to add in the future. It's weird, but even so much time later, I feel like it's already become their story and I'm just waiting for them to tell me where they're going next.
