* I am listening to Johnny Cash. This is always good. But I can't think about sports-playing anime boys while I do. Their lives are not difficult enough.


* I feel like I don't know what to talk about these days. My brain is buzzing but the thoughts won't turn into words. I am bemused but the stories won't be born. I've had so much TezuRyo insight in the last few days, but I haven't been able to do anything with it yet.


* I need to learn how to plot. I am googling plot and reading all the articles of advice. Anyone have favourite plotting tips?


* I wait, I wait for new BSG and Doctor Who.


* We have started to get phone calls about the fucking election. Bah.


* I got a Trailer Park Boys wall calendar! It is a thing of beauty. I wait for that new season to start too.


* There really need to be more InuKai kissing drabbles posted. Sometimes that's all I want to read.


* I was going to delete all this blathering nothingness, but then I didn't. I'll try to do better in the future.

Plotting? As in plotting a fic or plotting world domination? For the former, I just generally work out where I'm starting, where I want to end up and then all the intermediate steps to get there--ie X and Y have to travel here, Z has to figure out this, A has to have a bonding moment with B before C gets home, et cetera.

For the latter, it helps to have a robot army.

World domination is well in hand. Hmm, maybe if I accellerate that, I can just get a ghostwriter for my fanfic. :)

I think what I need is a better process for story development than the one I have now. Which mostly involves drinking a lot of coffee and/or beer and scribbling notes that I can never read afterwards, then sitting down in front of my computer and writing.

Actually, a lot of the time, I have the character movement figured out but have trouble working out the story movement to take them there.
