I have been plotting for [livejournal.com profile] tardis_bigbang. It's kind of exhausting. Okay, really exhausting. But I have made some progress! (And found an excuse to include one of my favorite minor characters!) Still haven't figured out how to work my way from the middle bits to the very ending bit, but... I'm poking at that.

Papel is kind of an awesome program for plotting. It's like index cards, but without the stress and hassle and dropping them on the floor. I would be so much more aggravated with life, the universe and everything if I didn't have this to help with the plotting.

More and more, I'm concerned with the length of this. I don't mind if it gets epic, just... not so epic that I can't write it before the deadline. GAH.

Also, I've got to stop listening to Jonathan Coulton. If only because the Doctor keeps grabbing songs for his playlists, and it's getting a little ridiculous.

EDIT: I am not allowed to include a subplot based on this song. I'm just NOT.

Rawr. FAIL. I have the same frustration there - Evie has Scrivener, and I BADLY want it, but it doesn't work on PCs. If I had any suggestions for Macs, I would offer them, but... I know little about what writing software is out there. ♥

Also, that is AWESOME. Rift icons for the WIN.

I just looked up Scrivener. And went. OH. MY. WANT.

(and you know it's time to sleep when you stare at the pile of clothes on your floor for a straight minute thinking, "DUDE, THAT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A SKULL. TOO BAD NO ONE IS AWAKE. I WOULD SHOW THEM. BECAUSE IT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A SKULL. OR LIKE. AN ARMADILLO. OR SOMETHING.")
