Me, 6 PM: I do not want this plot bunny. I do not need this plot bunny.

Me, 2 AM: This plot bunny has woken me up with a half-written story caught in its whiskers.

Me, 9 AM: I have written 80K of this story.

I've got all these WIPs in my Google Drive, and I've got a couple other stories bubbling in the "let's see what develops" pot, but now my brain is telling me that (a) in honor of the gleefandomlove post I should write the "Jews in Glee" essay I've been pondering for a while and (b) I should write an original fiction story to submit to an anthology with a very short deadline (well, the window for submissions was long; I've just procrastinated). *Why*, brain, *why*???

(And, if you feel like it, do *you* have an opinion on what if anything I should write sooner?)
