Your Best Worst Notes

I'm starting this thread up again, because I loved it so much before the forum wipe. And with the planning I've been doing the past couple of days, I've got some good ones to share. XD

Quote:The demon who’s hiding is all “HELLS YEAH” because it just found a snack in the form of a kid who really should have been at home in bed but wasn’t because, well, he wasn’t. I guess he wanted to be demon food. Or something.

Yes, me, that's exactly why that kid was wandering around his neighborhood in the middle of the night. Because he wanted to be demon food 9_9

Quote:And Yuuto drools in his sleep. I don't even know if that's important, but he's clingy and drools in his sleep.

This, right in the middle of me debating with myself on whether or not one of my characters is bada$$ enough to not get ambushed by a demon. I really shouldn't work on outlines in the middle of the night after consuming so much caffeine.

Quote:Even Ren is in a decent mood. (As noted by the fact that he's not being a complete jerk towards Eichi. Why, Ren? You're being out of character. I wonder why THAT is? God, brain, stop that. Seriously. There is nothing going on there. He's just happy for his friend, never mind that being happy goes against everything that Ren is.)

Further proof late nights and espresso aren't a good mix when outlining.

Quote:I'll figure out what exactly happens later, but whatever it is needs to torment Akiba. Because I haven't tortured him enough yet. At all. I think Eichi will appreciate me turning the torture on someone else for a while.

Because I've been tormenting poor Eichi like crazy since the first book. It's time that poor guy gets a break.

I also have a couple notes that were written in the dead of the night when I was almost completely asleep. I'm still trying to decipher my handwriting, but I'm pretty sure it was something to do with bananas and glitter that I thought was genius when the idea woke me up.

Oh, I'm so glad this thread is back! I love these. They're hilarious. I'll have to look through my notes to see if I have any little pieces of gold to post here...

By the way, did anyone save any of the good ones from last thread? I was looking at them earlier, but didn't get a chance to save any before the forum swipe. :(

Oh boy. I really embrace that, "write drunk, edit slightly less drunk" mentality, so my notes tend to get kinda silly.

They best one I found skimming through my recent notes was a scene outline in which one of my characters, after getting cheated on, gets drunk and wanders around asking businessmen if they know where the hookers are. Somehow I don't think that one's going to make the final draft.

This one was funny

[Oh no, the Angels are violent flying elves!]

Really, I was asking for it when I didn't give my angels wings really.

Typing up some old notes this evening -

1. On the top of an almost-illegible page covered in teeny-tiny 'omgIhaveanideaImustwriteitdownNOW' scrawl:

"Note to self- make sure the decaf tea is decaf before you drink half a pitcher."

2. "Insert the small schism here"

Considering this was written in the margins on a page where my two bff characters find a sick kitten and happily adopt it, I have *no* idea. It is possible I miswrote something, I guess.

About my setting and (main?) character:

Post-apocalyptic steam punk. And the character is sort of a vampire who eats dreams and memories and emotions. But he hasn't told me his name yet. But he has goggles and such.

My whole plot description is like this.

My main character was friends with some 'magical folk' (way to be vague) and he/she (undecided gender) witness a horrific murder of his magical fold friends and family due to 'some ongoing war' and had his/her memory altered by some all knowing magical folk council. Now he/she is a awkward sort of outcast teen who now is being taken from their awkward/outcast life to go to an even MORE awkward/outcast life where he/she must now go through the traumatizing process of remembering everything he/she forgot by the order of that same all knowing magical folk council.

Oh jeez all of my notes (both for NaNo and school) are just... ridiculous like this. MY PEOPLE. *embrace*

Let's see... *starts flipping through notebook*

"Space western mystery comedy...? Oh god I'm insane I'm actually insane"
"Also lesbians."
"SUDDENLY, ROBOTS."
"Initially silenced by Olja. When she starts muttering, Shit Is Going Down."
"Michael needs a soul... TRAGIC PAST A-GO-GO"

Woah, clicking through my microsoft word... some of it I remember... others I'm quite sure I lost conscious memory of while I was bashing my skull into the keyboard :P

"All fall- Death is dying " orly?
"being a vampire (things not permitted in church)" Logically.

I don't have my notes with me because I'm at work but I have loads of good ones...

This is one of my favourite threads. Thank you for bringing it back!

I only decided which of the two ideas I was going to work on this year recently, so I haven't had time to build up the off-kilter, mildly insane notes yet, but these are a few dealing with fictional politics and country names.

Quote:This is the last straw in an increasingly insane, oppressive haystack.

Quote:Svelland, but that's Norwegian for flat cake land.

Quote:It does mean, however, that people living there are Swefflish, which is just silly.

There's also a file on my laptop in which I demonstrated that yes, typewritten text can be illegible, if you do it when your fingers are frozen and you're in a hurry.

"She might got a life y'know, stealing with Jamie. But it doesn't matter, because she is the vortex,ifthe world was SHE IS THE SUN is that so hard to understand."

What.

Hooray! This is always my favorite thread. Thanks for resurrecting it :D
Nothing to add now, but i'm sure I'll be back...

The way I word stuff sometimes amuses me greatly: "Drunken stuff in da circus, drunken shenanigans."

Also, I still don't know why I have a big-lettered word "HITHER" in the middle of one page of my notes. Hmmmm...

The reason I should sleep when I'm tired and not plot...
"To the boy's suprisement, the little girl obeyed." And then scribbled in huge letters over the rest of the paragraph, making the paragraph completely illegible: SURPRISEMENT IS NOT A WORD!

Okay, I just found some quite ridiculous ones. In the middle of rather serious planning is this:

Quote:Crying dragonflies?

Something new!

"Main point of interest? The nostrils." I actually know what that one was about.

"Two boys/teens/sporks are gods of old..." There's more to that one but I think 'spork' really says it all about my mood that day.

"fate=seamstress." Had something there... I think.

"Does the rebellion believe in books?"
No, of course not, books are imaginary silly!

"Who is in charge of the rebellion?
-some guy (gee, that's helpful)"

"Happily ever after? Kill 'em all?"

"CP4R"
What? I mean, what?

"Chai latte is the best thing EVER!"
It really is. I'm so glad I wrote this down so I'll never forget.

"WHOREslutbagskank"
Um... Okay?

"Love? Nah, screw that shit"
I guess it won't be romance then.

Quote:this person scouts the park in the middle of ______. Central park? I believe so. He goes to Central Park and takes the Branded he finds in a bus to (find somewhere with a lot of woods and few people.. or do I never name where the place is specifically, like Hogwarts? Get a general idea of how long a bus trip would take, can’t be tooooo far from NYC. Actually, I bet it’s a white rapist van.

Reading through my notes worries me... they're giving me as many problems as they solve.

Quote:The plan was to go away, get settled, and send for her. This gets a little screwed up, for reasons that will have to be figured out later
