Tools of the Trade

Been talking about various ways of mindmapping tonight, including such things as listing interests, listing the things that worry one, listing the things that one is worried over, and is upset with self for being worried over, listing interests and what is being done to be interested in those interests, thinking about dream-logic vs. waking logic, mapping out which things in one's life are dream-logic, which ones are waking-logic.

The differences between writers, mages, and the insane. The differences between a useful dream, and something nifty that you'll never use.

Mapping the mind. I feel like an AI sometimes, but that's sometimes what is needed. Echo. Bounceback. Confirmation that someone else is alive and listening...

My blonder half always started me out with "What's bothering you?"

Well, you offer suggestions I wouldn't be able to think of because I'd be too busy running in circles.

Plus I've grown leery of doing core dumps in an empty room.

Yep. Both factors.
