just get me to the next exclamation point
I've just realized that my approach to writing plot is to basically treat it like a video game. "Okay, we start with them trapped in the heart of an enemy base. They have to find a way out of the room, talk to a local for clues, loot some bodies, and make it to the other end of the map to reach the next plot objective. How are we going to do this?"
Which I guess is better than freezing up and closing the document forever, but it feels rather charmless.
Okay, no more writing posts until...*checks calendar* Thursday, I promise. As always, anyone who wanted to read what I have so far and confirm to me that it exists in the world and is not entirely without merit would have my eternal gratitude.
(Also as always, I'm starting to talk like the TV I watch. Thank god for the corrective, less high-flown influence of Dead Like Me with my mom every evening, or this would be worse than when I binge-read every Sherlock Holmes story and talked like a badly-written Victorian for weeks. Let's not even get into what happens when I watch British TV.)
