Tag updates

I spent some time this morning changing/removing some outdated tags and generally updating my tags list, so I hope it is easier to navigate now for anyone that likes to explore livejournal pages via tags. (And who doesn't? It's useful!) I've also changed the tag display setting from cloud to list, since the teeny, tiny font was making it difficult to see any of the less popular tags. I was surprised some of them even existed at all (and thus the reason I changed or removed them). It was also just a large, unholy mess in general, so yeah...

I suppose I'm sort of glad that lack of access to my simming computer has pushed me to do some journal maintenance, because this is the sort I thing I would likely never get around to otherwise (once upon a time I would do things like this while goofing off at work, but I don't do that much anymore). The funny thing is, I really, really want to work on the Tomato Legacy or S,HWC stuff right now. It's the whole idea that I can't that makes me want to do it even more. *sigh* So typical. Maybe I'll channel that energy into making some outlines for upcoming chapters and doing some of the writing. Or maybe even finish all the chapter descriptions in the story directory? :P There's a couple of chapters that never ever did get descriptions.

I know what you mean! Inspiration/enthusiasm always strikes me hardest when I have no way of acting on it.

That's a great idea with the tags; I'm gonna see if my layout allows for that.

Isn't that always the way? Inspiration can be so fickle. I used to get a lot of writing and things done as a form of procrastination. In some ways I'm sad I've traded that in for a better attention span and work habits (but not really).

I'm lucky I've been tagging my story updates pretty intensively from the beginning with the characters and locations. It's easy to rename those existing tags to be more organized now. I think it's a nice addition to having a story directory for those people who are only interested in reading chapters and bits and pieces involving specific characters.
