I'm new here, so... hi. :-D This blog's basic use is ranting, isn't it? So, rant I go...

The Plot Bunny: an evil cute fluffy rabbit-like creature lodged into an author's brain and my or may not help you in certain situations.
Sadly, for me, it doesn't help; actually, in most cases, it dislikes me. A lot. Thus would be the reason for Holly's constant complaining of me deleting my entries over and over and over and then reposting them and ending up deleting them again anyway... Wow, that was a long sentence.
Such as now: I have four so-called stories posted up on FictionPress, all of which are over 5,000 words (save for one I recently started) and all of which are most likely saved three billion and ahalf times over. In actuality, I have about seven (going on eight) stories I'm supposedly working on, one of which I haven't touched in half a year.
How do you solve this? If you want that answer, don't look at me; I'm trying to solve it myself, obviously...
I dislike calling this illness (yes, illness) the dreaded Plot Bunny. I prefer to call it The Skipper. Why? Well, it all started when... Actually, it's bevcause I skip over too many important details when this illness comes over me.
I could also call it The Odd-essy just to make my English teacher (who grades on where you put commas; Heaven forbid you put a comma in when someone's talking and taking a breath...) daft.
She was the first teacher to ever mistake me for a guy. And three months ago I thought only Senior girls thought I was male... Ah, well. Life flows along a shallow river, so I suppose no good comes from it if there's a boulder in the way.
Getting myself on track again, I'm going to summarize what I had siad above: Plot Bunnies (or Skippers) can be a bad thing. Now, if you're not me: you're stuck on an idea and you're in the shower and POOF! there's your new idea and you can't wiat to get out of the shower to write it down before you lose it... that's a good thing, I'd think.
Or not, per se, if you're like me.

aww.. poor Lise. hopefully you canget one of these past 10,000 words sometime, no?
I have a few times, you know. But that was before I met you/I hated the storyline to that one anyway.
I like Plot Bunnies. Sometimes.
What I don't like is how I don't write them down or I forget them. Ergh.
:'(
Keep up the good work.
