Maybe one of the concepts can be that a concept can include many sub-concepts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

vw, I recommend some serious grouping!
It is so cold in my office. I need fingerless gloves. And a nose warmer.
We had a really nice dual birthday party at our house on Saturday and the place looked pretty good I think. And I'm never happy about how the house looks. But we just painted the living room and my friend put up some posters for me. And we made (and people brought) a buttload of beautiful food. And my friend took some pictures with her fancy camera. So I wanted to share.
(I'm waiting for a new sofa so I still have kind of ugly, ill-fitting slipcover covered one)

eta: eek, vw! Can you cull a top 10 from your list of 35?
Well, he's expecting at least 20, so I've got to at least have that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can't you just leave 15 out?

I suppose. But, somehow, because this is me, and I'm weird, that just feels wrong.

One of the important lessons of university is when to lie in writing, I swear.

vw, can you put them in order of importance and just write until you run out of time? That would be my approach, but I am anti-outline girl.

What is even happening?
vw, you will not hurt any of the concepts feelings, if you leave them out. I promise.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't know, Cindy. I hang out with several of the concepts surrounding balance, and they don't say anything, but you just look at them sometimes, when people ignore them, and they just get this look, and kinda sigh.

Debet, you're not responsible for the concept's feelings -- you have to remember that. They're their own entities. You just need to be fair to yourself -- it's not like the concepts are looking after you.
