SRMD? ADHD? No! It's LDVS!

Last night I was reading a rather trashy story (in the original Japanese, yay... okay, it was completely furigana'd, I cheat on my Kanji, I admit it, alright?) and had a flash of inspiration about what to do with one of my more complicated characters. I immediately scribbled down long paragraphs, inventing a boyfriend for her (a short, bearded man with long hands and features bronzed by a lifetime in the sun-- what the Hell is he doing on this starship? I need more backstory, dammit... scribble, scribble...), and basically trying to get her out of the deep and depressing funk I had left her in at the end of the last episode.

And then I had to stop and tell myself: No. I will not write the whole thing right here and right now. I have a commitment to The Temple, and then another one to the next Fragility episode. As touching and wonderful as this scene is, I will not flesh it out into full-length story. I have other things to do tonight. Sigh.

There are times when Leonardo Da Vinci Syndrome really, really sucks.
