Filling the Empty Spaces

Over the past week or so, a few things happened:

1. The baby moved from a crib to a toddler bed. This came with a trip to IKEA (I heart IKEA, btw) which led to ...

2. A great deal on a new dresser (something I've been searching for, as our closet/current dresser situation is a bit lacking) which brings me to ...

3. A comment made by the husband: "I'll just use the old dresser and you can have the new dresser."

I don't have that much stuff. We initially had talked about giving our old dresser to the kidlets, but now . . . 6 giant drawers, after migrating my things from our current dresser over, I still have 4 completely empty drawers. What to do with the empty space??

You guys probably think I'm so totally random when I come up with this stuff, but . . .

When I come up with a new idea for a project, I usually have a couple major plot points, maybe something that could be the beginning, maybe an end. This would be the 2 drawers I've been able to fill in my new dresser. But like the other 4 - currently empty - drawers, I don't always know how to fill in the gaps between.

It appears I have to do some shopping, both in reality and in the current wips I'm working on. Shopping for new socks and new words.

I suppose it's off to the market for me. Anyone have a map to the nearest Word-Mart?

Thursday Thoughts: ?????


Who?

When?

Where?

Why?


Have you answered all those questions in your story?

Oh, oh, and don't forget the HOW.

Just some more thoughts I wanted to share!
