I went through my "Holy Crap I Need To Write This Down Right Now" book of ideas recently. It's almost full. I've carried this thing around with me for at least a year now, probably closer to a year and a half. The book is showing the wear, too - I'll be glad to move to a new one so I don't have to lug it around and risk destroying it.
Anyway, since ideas aren't much good unless they're mined and refined, I picked out a bunch of story seeds that I want to work on over the next four months. So I'll never have an excuse not to remember what they are, I'll post them here, and hopefully they'll be cryptic enough to also be amusing. Don't worry - I know what I mean*.
There's a lot more in there, but those are the ones that are fleshed out enough that I don't have an excuse not to write them, already, or at least flesh them out considerably. 17 ideas, and about the same number weeks until school starts up again. Factoring in the editing I need to do (and a possible romance novel -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_bookshelves? We still doin' that?), I think it's do-able. (I'm gonna MAKE it do-able.)
* Though there's the odd entry in there that I don't recognize. Like this one: "Remember the profile tracing exercise." Uh. WTF?
