WARNING - THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POINT TO THIS POST

 

I woke up at 4am this morning. I just couldnt sleep....

 

So i started writing...... creating character profiles..... and then i thought (being an IT Geek) - wouldn't it be great to have a place to store all my story notes..... so by 9am I had a database structure in place. I know there are already programs out there, but they are inferior to me simply because

 

(1) I didn't design those ones

 

(2) I can get to be my own Database Administrator, and like the power trip

 

(3) Most of those programs INDEX on the character first and last names :o

 

I got to the point of setting up a little referential integrity, when i thought.... WHAT THE #?&! am i doing???

 

I guess im just bored and need an outlet...... Seriously - when you start playing around with databases just to pass the time, there is something wrong in your head....

:lol: That cracked me up.

 

It so could have been me too!

(though I would have gone for an XML Schema rather than a database, but there! :P)

 

That's why my writing never goes very far: I get lost in side projects...

 

I hope you made your database compatible with GA stories; that way, even if you don't finish the story at least we can have a look at the characters :D

I sooo don't do that! When I can't sleep I plan house layout and decor in my head for my dream house. I've done it since I was a kid, the more detail the better. Usually I don't make it upstairs before I crash out. Sometimes just the landscaping does me in ;)
