The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed.

So did this. I'm not surprised, really. I can't string a bunch of ideas together, much less come up with them time and time again.

I could probably write B5 fanfic after wasting a month or so of nights watching the series (damn good once I got back into it), but that's one of those things that doesnt' really work well unless you've got all the technical details. You can get something wrong and get harped on for technical inaccuracies. (I guess same applies to an fanfic, though.)

That dragon story still kidna bounces around in my head, but again... what do I do with it? Where do I go with it? It's the same problem as any other writing, except this time I don't even have the point B I usually do.

There's a 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook. I haven't stared that cuz I ddin't think I'd make it through all 30 days in succession. They need a 30 day writing challenge, though. Maybe I'll go back to that plot generator. I dunno.

Just feel like I'm wasting some talent here, or wasting time that could be put to better use. And whining about it doesn't help, either.

But, at least that's something... it's the first I've written i na month or so, so it's a start, no matter how crappy. Rome wasn't built in a day... right?

I'm not dead! ...yet.

I haven't forgotten, or given up on, this endeavor. However, even NyQuil-infused dreams can't spark my creativity. So, I listen to my brain thud against my skull like a dull rock instead. (Well, whatever brains I'm not busy expelling into a kleenex, at least.)

Upon my mom telling our pastor she wasn't going to be in church for a few months after a cornea transplant, the pastor's response was, 'People will use anything as an excuse not to go to church'. I guess this applies to me, too. I know I don't have the craftiness yet, not at the point I want; I don't want to spend half my posts bitching about not being able to come up with something. I don't have, but also dont' need, the dedication just yet. I'll suffer through these allergies/colds/whatever-they-are and move on after that, with a detour here if I find a moment of clarity, or something zany enough to write about.

(Porivded I remember it- I think I had a dream about the Mythbusters this afternoon, but it's gnoe now.)

I'm not dead!

No giving up, just completely spaced about doing an update yesterday. Not part of my everyday routine quite yet.

My mind keeps going back to a gold dragon that's enslaved by a town (or so he leads them to believe). They captured him as a hatchling, and so he grew up with the townsfolk. He doesn't threaten them directly, but does make vague comments that could be construed badly. Being a good dragon, though, he doens't really go through with any threats (except when provoked, like by those pesky knights always trying to save townsfolk that aren't disappearing into his den (though try to convince those guys of that)).

I can kinda picture him, kinda have an idea of tthe town. I don't have any idea for the name, or what to do about beingin the town, except maybe facing a few of those onslaughts. The villagers feed him, but I have a feeling he sneaks some sheep in on the side. Or maybe something else... the wool probably tickles on the way down. (Good for a kleenex, though.)

The lack of name is bugging me, for some reason- evn though I don't know what to do with him, apparently he wants some sort of definition and reason for sitting around in my mind, nwo that I've gotten him there.

Hmm, maybe he's a little more confused than first imagined.... golden body with a red underbelly. Maybe he dyes his scales to make people think he's friendly... or to hide his age? (I guess that idea doesnt' fly too well, though, if they captured him as a hatchling.)

I guess if Here There Be Dragons, there need to Be other Dragons Here. Territory conflicts with other dragons? Finding his parents? Getting out of the village and touring the world?

Nothing is sticking out, at least at the moment. Then again, I'm also having some problems making sure fingers are on the right keys. The upper row is too far to reach with current tired state. Leads to a lack of focus, too. (If I crash, it's a Good Thing, though... I really really really need to catch up on sleep.)I'll have to remember to read this tomorrow and maybe I can figure out an idea to expand upon. Even with another late start (I really need to set an alarm), am definitely slipping pretty bad now. Now, to just see myself sleep until morning instead of just napping.

Oh well, at least I got something in today. I didn't get the full time, but am still going, rather than two days of break. Dont' want that. I think I'm enjoying this....
