The new stories I'm working on right now run through my head more like the episodes of a TV show than anything else, so I'm rolling with that kind of framework. I've got a greater plot arc in mind (the season arc) and then littler ones for each story/episode. I'm only a few in, but already I can see how it's tricky to balance out the stand-aloneness of the stories and the cohesion of the overall arc.
I'm digging it, though. It's like a game. I get to do research, too, which is also fun. I know a new word now: Molybdomancy.

Keep having fun. That's what this writing gig is supposed to be about after all.
I once heard of a guy who died triyng to do Molybdomancy. He had a lot of mercury, so he tried pouring it on his palms over and over again. Problem was, his hands weren't that big so he tried to get into some good light. He ended up wandering out into the street with mercury on his hands, and then was hit by a bus.
True story.
