Idle hands and idle minds

[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: I have a location. Setting, check. Character, check.
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: Plot...
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: who needs plot when you have setting?
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: oh, well, I have explosions.
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: that works
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: They'll have to do instead
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: that's just like plot
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: Nonono, plot is things blowing up in sequence
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: pfft
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: random explosions is like setting, only more so
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: :-)
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: okay, so you start on the left
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: and end on the right
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: that is blowing things up in sequence
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: and if you can make things blow up in a pretty spiral?
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: double points
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: Spirals are thematic
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: A little bird told me, so it must be true
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: they are only thematic if you use more than one spiral
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: (You should blog this, I think.)
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: (and if they're thematic, you should use at least twenty-five)
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: hehe
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: Paris go Boom!
[livejournal.com profile] hawkwing_lb: City of Nuclear Light!
[livejournal.com profile] jmeadows: Ooo, that would be pretty
