None of you probably remember this post from a while back, where I posted a prelude to yet another writing project. I get an idea, I write part of it down, and I swear to myself that I'll come back to it. Invariably, I don't, and lose track of the whole idea.

3. Keep writing!

1) I wondered that at the time, actually. I kind of expected you'd comment on it.

Sailor Jim's writing style is more manic, filled with one-liners and bad puns. You set up situations somewhat similar to the way he does, but you don't just go for the cheap gag.

And I know what you mean about "life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" - I haven't written anything in several years, other than LJ comments, email, and an occasional grocery list :-(
