-- A description of Christian boot camp. I think I'm going to throw up. And hate people a little more than normal today.

-- Project Runway marathon of the first season today. Woohoo!

-- I have maple walnut ice cream and ice cream cones. Clearly I win at something.

-- I've spent the last two days writing down scenes and dropping them in those silly baggies. And continuing to feel like a ginormous dork because of it. But hey, whatever works.

-- Today's the first day I'm supposed to go back to work, and instead I think I'll go to sleep at six and not wake up until ... you know, whenever. Heh.

-- Someone keep me away from my Amazon wishlist and adding stuff to it that's so expensive I can neither afford it nor would want anyone to spend that much on me who wasn't directly involved in my conception and birth. (On the other hand, it IS a wishlist, hence my overwhelming urge to have some ridiculously expensive computer on there at all times.) EDIT: Oh, holy crap, I found a pink laptop. It's like a Barbie laptop! *flails* If one of you wins the Powerball tonight, you'll buy it for me, yes? Complete with a bag of sparkly gel pens and hair clips? And maybe a pony?

Heh. If I could have afforded to buy anything new, I'd probably go right out and pick that thing up. The tape, paper, and baggies, I already had. :)

And yeah, if you don't want to spend a few hours seething, clicking that link isn't going to help.

It's always the money!! Being broke and unemployed myself at the moment I totally understand...but I would like to try something similar to your idea for all of my stories - does it take up a lot of space?

Not at all. I used the back of my living room door, so really, if I want to hide it all I have to do is leave it open, and since I live alone and don't have a lot of visitors I don't have to worry about it. :)

It fits four sandwich baggies across and something like eight or nine rows from top to bottom. Right now I've got twenty-six on there and I think I could probably fit about ten more. I just labeled each one with the story name in Sharpie, then every time I put a card in there I make a note -- usually, I can whip up a plot around thirty to thirty-five cards.
