Plot and motivation brought to you by Mutant Enemy

July 10, 2002 Stephanie Leary

No writing to speak of this week. I’ve been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer obssessively, and it’s sparked plot ideas for the gaping black hole of plotlessness that used to the second half of the book. I have plot now. I also have motivations for several supporting characters, which makes it a lot easier to write them. I’ve brought home dozens of little scraps of paper from work with ideas scribbled here and there, and this weekend’s task is to assemble them all. And to start season 6.
