Anyway, I've been trying to get a head start with my idea, so I've started writing down ideas and trying to figure out my characters and story arc and stuff...
I'm not particularly interested in writing novels, so it's been tough to think of a story idea that I like enough to spend a semester and a lot of effort on. Well, I finally thought of an idea that I like, and I'm trying to get it all worked out in my head and I think it's possibly (or most definitely) more complicated than I should aim for.
I now have 37 pages of notes and ideas and every time I try to work on it some more, I'm pretty sure my brain explodes.
in summary: this semester is probably going to suck.
