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.

XD If the Doctor steals "Ikea," it's time to slap his hand away from the cookie jar, and by cookie jar, I mean the Jonathan Coulton.

Yay progress! ....And oh God, that thing looks amazing. I may have to invest in that for when I have... Things. And stuff. ...I'm full of articulate.

This Papel thing is shiny.

Aubrey, I think you just unstuck me.

Worst comes to worst, you could probably just keep writing and only properly submit a chunk of it, leave off at a semi-cliffhanger or something.

...just saying.

So I just downloaded Papel and it's TOTALLY FUCKING ADDICTING. I'm like "OOO CLICKY. OOO. HEEE. CLICK. YAAAAAY."

So, um, yes. *goes to plot... things*
