elfsThe day I left to go camping-- leaving behind every writing instrument I own except for my beloved Miquelrius A5 Quadrille notebook and a Jetstream Uniball Finepoint Blue pen (gosh, no, I'm not at all picky about my tools, why do you ask? And why is the Jestream Finepoint Blue a special order item now? What's up with that?), my Muse assaulted me on the road and said, "Y'know that break between Book 2 and Book 3 of Aimee? The one where you can't think of a good reason why Darynn should go to the Imperial Capital? Well, here's your plot! Eight chapters, fully plotted, with a main character and a protagonist and everything. And it maintains the same format used in Aimee one. Boom, instant consistency!"
Fucker. Of course, the second I did have a chance I wrote it all down. Now I have to actually write the story, not just the outline.
On Saturday of the campout, naturally, my other Muse shows up and says, "You know that problem you have at work with unit testing? If you inherit and extend the Forms manager's startTag() method to embed a comment field about the validation state, and add an implicit method to run the validator but not actually commit anything or change the view, your problem will go away."
Of course, I wrote that down as well.
Problem number one: I can't write The Talented Princess until I finish Nymphs in November. I promised myself that.
Problem number two: "We're in the final phase of development, so you can't make any infrastructure changes to the application server now. And we don't have time scheduled in the next rev for it either."
Why do these things happen when I can't be productive about them?
