Plot Bunny Exorcism...

I've spent some time jotting down 5K words of something that will never get published.

It's rather like one of those songs that get into your head and you can't get out (earworms)...only this was a plot bunny. I hope that by putting it in a file I'll have exorcized the beast.

I have several of these things that clutter up my brain. I used to work on them on Sunday nights, but my schedule's been off for the last few months, which is why I think this one's eaten up odd time.

Now if only I can get that 5-dollar-footlong commercial out of my head....darn Subway!

Oh, dear...

Posted at Wired today...

"A photo-only search on "cute kitty" at Flickr currently provides 70,759 results. Hell, a search on "litter box" gives you 3,155 hits. You could look at a Flickr photo of a litter box every single day, and you wouldn't run out of litter boxes before the sentient alpacas take over the government in 2016."

Wait a minute...Why hasn't anyone told me the alpacas have set a target date? Why do I have to hear this through Wired?

This really doesn't give me much time to get a novel published....
