How do you feed your plotbunnies?

[redgarters]

Taking a break from trying to finish a story thats been fighting me for months, I wandered the stacks and found some stories that gave me a plot idea for a train romp story. That means I now have three plotbunnies running around causing havoc in my brain. So I just wondered, how many plotbunnies do you have jumping around at any given time and how do you keep them alive as you're writing something else or in a block phase? And how many end up as stories at the end of the day?

If they stick around long enough for me to get around to writing them down then they're keepers that I might finish someday. If they die away before that then they probably weren't worth my time anyways. In other words, I don't try and keep them alive, they live or die on their own merit.

Right now though I have three long story plot bunnies bouncing around my head and another seven short story plot bunnies, half of which are offspring to two of the long stories, one of which is also an offspring of a long story. Hmm, not sure that makes sense. I deal with them though by writing about whichever is bouncing the hardest at the moment.

I've got three stories I've worked on, added words to, in the past week. Lots of other ideas, about 20. Sometimes I write a couple of paragraphs when I have an idea, just to remind future me how I wanted the story to go.

I murder them, skin them, freeze them, and bring them out when I need to write. Some are fresh kills. My latest upload was a morning wood I had two days ago.

The good news is that I've finished one of them and submitted it. So only 84 left.

It's been a long time since anyone but my wife called me that.

At least I'm not the only one who's like this.

Some with the love and tenderness a mother does a newborn. Others, The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Most fall somewhere in between.

Usually just two plot bunnies are frolicking in my brain at a time. Usually a long term project and a shorter stand-alone. Everything else is written down in the 'contemplate later' file, before it gets too hungry.
