Day of Little Accomplishment

I was rather disappointed in my getting things done level today. I had plans to get a fair amount of stuff done but whenever I started to make an effort to get things done my energy level nose-dived. The only thing I got done today was the note taking part of a Clone High review.

I finally gave up on the idea of getting anything substantial done today around 12:30 AM. So I'm retroactively labelling this day as a purely relaxational day in the hopes that tomorrow will see far more productivity.

I've had some nifty new story ideas that I want to get plotted out (though I've got enough stories on my plate right now that I'll hold off on the actual writing for a while yet).

I've found that my dreams of late have been a goldmine of story ideas. My dreams have always been strange but lately I've found myself seeing ways elements from my dreams could be part of a story. In some cases I've had dreams that were coherent enough that I could even just put the entire dream into story form with little or no changes and I'd have a great little story. My dreams are often even following dramatic conventions as far as the rise in action -> climax -> resolution stuff goes. The only downside is that I often don't bother to write anything down until later in the day by which time I cannot always remember what the dream was even about.

Hey, I guess I've got TWO productive like things now that I've gotten a post done. Half-assed productivity is still productivity.
