Today's topic for discussion: I know some of us suffer from an over-abundance of bunnies sometimes. If that effects you, how do you pick which one to focus on?

I'm doing some editing on one fic that's been written for awhile for posting at Ao3. I'm also doing research for a couple of new pieces that I'm working on. I have a fairly free evening ahead of me, so I may get some writing time in as well later on.

When I have a lot of bunnies going, I tend to try picking the one that is due first, if it's part of a challenge or a prompt. Otherwise, I tend to spend time with whichever one is newer -- which is bad for my poor WIPs that have been around for awhile!

I think every writer must have folder(s) full of WiPs; it seems to be part of the process. I think I need to get better at focussing and prioritising, though. It would be nice to get more pieces finished and posted!

Currently, I have a Scrivener project called The Plotbunny Farm and I put all my ideas in there, sorted according to a sort of Venn Diagram process: when is it due, how close is it to being finished, and how much is it nagging me to get written.

I think of it in farming terms, with folders for Fallow Fields (old ideas that I can't bring myself to throw away yet), Seeds (bare-bones concepts), Seedlings (detailed concepts, with a couple of scenes written), the Current Crop (things I'm actively working on, or that are close to being finished, or being beta'd), and Last Year's Harvest for my finished, posted works.

I love this way of describing WIP folders! I have a similar set up, and this way of describing them fits perfectly. I also have a subfolder in Current Crop that's for those WIPs that have been neglected over the years, but I still get in there and tend them from time to time, and they still are producing fruit. ;-)
