kallowayOnce upon a time, I started making a spreadsheet of plotbunnies. This was a terrible idea because it turns out that I really need plotbunny lists to be tangible. I need to be able to hold my plotbunnies and run my fingers over them and flip pages. This is not a dig at anybody who likes spreadsheets. My brain just likes things analog. So in 2023, I transferred the spreadsheet back into a notebook, awkwardly.
Since I have transcribed the proper 2020 plotbunny notebook into the new 2026 plotbunny notebook, I need to figure out what to do with the 2023 book. It is not complete but definitely has both duplicates and stuff not listed elsewhere. Hunting duplicates is possibly too time-consuming, but we'll see. I may just ignore it for the most part, or just pick a page at a time and go slowly?
Digging through my journal to find a bit more info on the spreadsheet mostly got me entries about getting rid of the spreadsheet, and those entries also were full of general malaise about posting to AO3. So I suppose it was no actual surprise that when, a few months later, the deep malice, bigotry, and incompetence of the OTW exploded, it was easy to just walk away.
No archiving today. Too tired from post-break work + getting back on schedule. Might not get back around to things until Thurs/Fri but that's fine.
(My 'favorite' attempt at organizing some plotbunnies/prompts was back in... 2016 or so? Definitely when I was in school and very busy. Anyway, I was lovingly notes and whatnot into a composition book, and decorating them, and then suddenly realized that no, I'd not written a lick of any of them. But I'd certainly scrapbooked them nicely.
No regrets, looking back! That was the creativity I had at the moment.)
