(no subject)

I work in a flea circus with poorly trained fleas.

On other fronts, the notes for 'the dragon story,' as I've eloquently dubbed it, are plodding along. Working with Dramatica has shown me just how much plotting information I don't do for long pieces; we'll see if filling in all the holes now really helps me in the long run. It's a slow process, though--I come to places in Dramatica's "StoryGuide" (essentially, a step-by-step brainstorming process) I can't get past without taking days to fill in back story. On the bright side, if the novel gets done (and it's obvious the dragon story is novel-length) it may be pretty impressive. Whether it'll be saleable is another question, but I'll ask again at another time.

I haven't done anything with the 1500-word mainstream story I wrote in April. I haven't even given it a title. Time to get off my butt and see if I can get it out in time for Glimmer Train's current fiction writing contest, maybe.
