The 30 Day Fanfiction Writing Meme :: Day 19.

19 – When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?

I do tend to start writing right away, especially if I have a specific scene or snippet of dialogue in mind. Most of the time, I sit down and try to script out the whole framework of the plot. If I can't come up with a plot for fic that's as long as I want it or that I can't get quite right, I tuck the idea away in a notebook and save it for a later time. Twelve Christmases in the Life and Unlife of William H. Pratt (Parts I-IV, Parts V-VIII, and Parts IX-XII) was an idea that had been kicking around in my head for literally years because I finally was able to write it just as I wanted it.

I'm a notebook-keeper. I have several notebooks for my various plot bunnies. Most of them will never see the light of day, but there are those that get transferred to their own notebooks for further plotting. I think one problem that I have is that I have several fics that I want to post at once. I still have to finish posting Acceptable Losses and Versailles Undone before I even begin to start posting Automated Utopia II. Sweet Lord... I'm never going to get there if I don't get my act in gear. XD

It's an Egg-Miracle!

Today, mom decided to clean off the wreath from where the nest had been, and low and behold! There was another tiny egg caught in the ribbons! We used a clean napkin to move the egg back into the nest and then put the nest back in the wreath for lack of a better place to put it. The mother robin has been back to the nest when it was on the ground multiple times this morning, so I hope she comes back tomorrow and sees that the nest has been righted and there's still an egg left!

*tears up a little* I don't know if my heart can take much more!
