Ve half goot news und ve half bad news

The good news is that I am pretty sure that I have coaxed forth the beginnings of a very cool idea for the online weekly web writing. I still need to iron out several details and such, but the core idea seed is very much there. Even better, I'm hoping to mostly circumvent the plot problems bound to come up in a longer piece, by making it short stories all connected to the same idea. Hopefully, they'll be short enough that I won't have to rewrite much as things develop, because the story will be told and done before that happens (crosses fingers, that's my hope anyways).

The bad news is that it's going to be a while before it's all ready. Life is crazy busy, I'm behind in 2YN assignments, still need to iron out everything and create a buffer. Always have a buffer. Trust me.

I can't give a time line. I'd really like to, but I just don't know yet. :(

SQUEE! I love new idea time! I really do. I get so few and it's so much fun to explore and get lost in it all.

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!

I'm very behind in my 2yn assignments. Something I am in the process of trying to remedy. It's my hope to get caught up completely this week.

Why? Why when I come up with story ideas do I invariably have a beginning, frequently an ending and never a middle. Nev.Er. Ever. This drives me crazy. If I were the type that still indulged in the alcohol I assure you this quirk would drive me to drink till I was draped over my computer alternating between praying to and beating it senselessly. A bucket would be close by.

Trying to get back in the flow.

Tired. Did I mention incredibly tired right now?

I'm procrastinating

I'm procrastinating and I'm not sure why. I really don't need to research large cats just yet. I don't need to own any books on them or read up on behavior yet. So why am I focusing on that instead of the story at hand?

I don't really know...

Technically I don't need any on wolves either so I should really kybosh that as well.

Sigh, need to focus more. Sometimes I think research is an escape. No, I'm sure it plays that part at times. I have a love hate thing with research. :)

Edited to add: Sooner or later I will need these things, so if anyone has any knowledge on excellent books on various big cat species I would be thrilled to know what you know!
