I absolutely loved this description. It made my laugh because I can sooo relate to it! That's exactly how I feel about it.Chantelle.S. wrote:And all the while, I have my complete MSs sitting there looking like dorks waiting for me to stop chasing bunnies around and actually get to the hard part of writing - the revision period. I don't know if the plot bunnies are just a convenient distraction and a means for procrastination or not, but I've had some REALLY good ones that I'm keen to get working on. But when I try to start on them, my complete MSs start chucking carrots at my head and make me feel guilty for neglecting them. And then I'm sitting there amid a field of plot bunnies hopping for my attention while my MSs growl warnings at them as if to say 'I'll kill you dead, plot bunny, if you take time away from me'. So I end up making notes on how to easiest go about the revision period, just to feel like I'm doing SOMETHING, because my heart is telling me to go have fun and explore with the bunnies, but my head is telling me 'get to work'.
I've already thrown in my two cents above, but I had one thing to say about this: You'll do much better justice to the bunnies if you aren't getting carrots chucked at your head.
