Writing News

Plot bunnies, it seems, need to simmer.
The one character in my P.I. Sci-Fi plot, who was being secretive and elusive, has finally deign to tell me who she is, and what she's going to do in the plot. That silly bunny took her sweet time, but it was well worth the wait!
No kidding! Initially, I thought she could be some sort of local animal, but I came up with something much more twisted, and completely linked to the general backdrop I've got in mind for that universe.
I could have pushed the plot bunny, but it would have been... not as good.

So, that's one thing settled.
I've got other short stories being written (three plots simmering, one being typed).
My second play is nicely taking shape as well (strangely, I seem to need to have two stories to work on at the same time, and I alternate days writing one short story and the play). I honestly don't know if it's going to be as good and/or interesting as the first one, but since it's a literary testimony and testament, this changes everything (at least, for me).

I have ideas for other plays, but I'll definitely need to do a tad of research.

My bunnies went on hiatus. Seems to happen to me when I get about midway through, then I hit the "what the f*** do I do now" plot point, because I know where I want to GO, just not how to get there.

Is that the equivalent of the birds' winter migration?

It's odd when bunnies beam out, but there's usually some additional brewing needed in those cases...
No???

yep. Aidan gave me whatever crud he brought home, and now I have the head-cold that won't die. I was doing so well too. I'm contenting myself with keeping up with my homework and reading fanfiction because sometimes I will catch myself staring off into oblivion for chunks of time while my brain just decides it is going into "sleep-mode" without actually letting my body in on the action. People talk to me and then realise I have totally checked out. "Hello? Shannon?" Nope. Please leave a message. Maybe a post-it on my forehead...

Oh, my! I hope you'll feel better very soon!
Colds are no fun at all.
