Warehouse Escape—3:43 PM
What follows is decidedly unfinished. It's something I began toying with a few weeks ago, just to try out a few concepts. I probably won't do much more with it – just apply what I've learned to something else. I decided I'd better go ahead and post it today because even though it isn't much, starting tomorrow I'll likely be cursing myself that I haven't done a lot more.
What Should Happen whenever I have an idea or even an inkling of something that might be interesting to work on is I should begin immediately, throwing rough elements together, and just see how far I get with it.
What Does Happen is I start thinking about it and realize it'll take a lot of effort to get the result I want, and it might involve having to set up some unrelated thing I don't really want to fool with right now, so I'll just watch TV for a while instead.
This is the textbook definition of Ze Frank's brain crack concept, and if real crack is anywhere near as tough a habit to kick, I have a new sympathy for those people.
