April 23, 2009 Writing, But Not Here

It seems I only post here when I am in transition in some way - the status quo does not generate posts.

I have been working (almost five months in my new job), running (ran 20 miles over the course of the week, and down to 8:08 on one five mile run), and writing.

The thing I have been doing is to write mind maps of my story, chapter by chapter. This is necessary not to track plot, but to have some record of the plants, animals, places and characters that I have made up. There are plot details too, but mostly it is just taking note of the world.

Here's a question - do fossils only form in wet sediment?

Another thought I had while I was out running today is to wonder how many novels I have in my head, competing for attention. The answer, much to my surprise, is ten.

No wonder I feel frustrated that I don't do enough writing.

IIRC, it doesn't have to be wet sediment, but that's the easiest/most-common way.

I'd write more if I had *1* good novel (both meanings) idea...
