Practicality rears its ugly head.

Q: Would you say you have a plethora of good ideas?
A: I don't think so. My really good idea isn't substantial enough to carry any sort of plot, and while I think plot is overrated, probably I might want to have one in my first attempt at a novel, haphazard as it may be.

Q: So, what's the problem?
A: There are a lot of good stories to tell about online dating misadventures, but they don't really go anywhere, unless it leads to meeting the right person who you commit to, but I don't see that as very interesting, and it certainly doesn't seem easy to write about. So I'm going to combine some other elements and decrease the importance of that aspect. So I guess overall it's progress, although it seems like I have less than I did yesterday, it's just that yesterday's substance to my idea was an ILLUSION.
