Head meet desk

So, I don't think any of you know this, but I tend to check sim_spiration each morning when I get to work, to see if I have any ideas for drabbles.  This week, things aren't going well with that.  Yesterday there was a quote I could really get my teeth into, but I can't because anything I would write would be far, far too spoilery. 

I mean really, as in I might as well lay out the entire upcoming plot for you all to read if I use the prompt.

Today, the two words black and braid are whispering to me, but I'm not getting much further than an image of Emmi sitting at her dressing table.  Well, that's not true.  I have ideas for it, but one is a direction I'm really not sure about going in.  It would be GOOD I think, but it skirts too near a plot I've already used in the past, and don't want to revisit it.

So, blah.  I want to write but having difficulty with focussing on my idea and getting things down.  :(

Oops and now i have to get back to work.
