Ah, I thought the NyQuil had completely taken away my ability to read the words.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

No, but be careful of badgers (unkind trolling of drug-befuddled people)

Oh, I am going back to my book and tea in a moment. If any badgers leap out of the screen at me, I'm just going to power down and go quietly back to bed.
(And even on my worst sick day, I'd like to see the fool who tried to badger me with words. My Celtadrenlin would take over and I'd all Hulk out, turn woad-shade blue and eviserate. And then stagger off to drink some more fizzy water.)

I'm feeling some of the same urgency about writing, although in my case, it's my own mortality that's at issue.

Because books.
Strix, some people don't ever use much of an outline. But I think if you're serious about doing this fairly quickly, the more maps you have, the better.
Ginger, I was thinking about you the other day, because I was revisiting my apocalyptic idea. Also, hugs if you'll like them.

I have an apocalyptic idea myself, plus a lot of notes for essays on things like why apocalypses appeal and why the Lord of the Flies scenarios are unrealistic.
I was reading a young adult apocalyptic series a while back and realized that I wanted there to be a Rate This Apocalypse website on the probability of different scenario. I may be alone in this.

Please make this a tumblr or something. Please please please.

Not at all.

I personally love that idea.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love that idea too, Ginger.
I am also hitting the point where a workshop or a support group or beta readers would be a huge help. But I hesitate to ask here just because it's NOT genre and I suspect not most people's cup of tea. I like the idea of sharing writing goals, and it would be easier to make time to write when I know my friends are doing it as well.
