Irony rules my life. Truly, it does.

Sometimes, I do this really strange thing of thinking about stuff while I wait for sleep to claim me after I get into bed. Some say that dreams are the subconscious thoughts of when we were awake, so a few years back, I started this habit of thinking hard about things before sleep just so that my favourite Japanese boy group/band (w-inds.) would appear in my dreams. I'm weird, I know. But hey, this is applied psychology at work! At least I was still being scientific.

Anyway. Recently, my pre-sleep thinking was on the subject of my original multi-chapter story, Aki Kitsune (Autumn Fox), because it's been bothering me for quite a long while that I have no idea how to resolve the big issue/closure before the final ending. Not to mention that a part of my plot needed a logical device so that it can be... logical. *cough*BreakingFailDawn*cough*

Guess, what? I had it all figured out a few nights ago during one my of pre-sleep musings! The plot device, the action, the rough outline of the closure, the cooling after the climax (no pun there. *Fishes mind out of gutter*)... I'm such a genius!

The paranoid part of me had the compulsion to write the points down so that I won't forget them, but somehow, I feel that I can't put it across my ideas adequately enough in point-form. The major problem? I don't have the time to write/type anything down, in point-form or actual parts (so that when I get to writing the last part I can just cut-and-paste them in). Even if I do use points, there are too many of them that I don't have time to spare for just that.

Why? Let me list out that things I need to do for the coming week: a news story to write, a debate to prepare, an annotated bibliography to write, reflections of my reading material from the Public Relations module to blog about, and it's about time that I start transferring my messy Journalism module notes neatly into a new notebook.

Why do I have all these ideas in my mind just when I don't have the time to write them down? What was worse was that, after I read AK again a few days ago, I found myself kind of not liking the beginning chapters because it felt a notch (or perhaps a few notches) less mature that I would have preferred it to be. Oh, the horror!

Irony, why did you do this to me? *Bawls*

Murphy's Law! I would so renounce you, if only your tyrannic rule would give me a minuscule chance to! Damn you!
