Pondering after some digestion of the multitude of information.

So you have a storyline, and find yourself a setting and a character,
or you have a character, and find him a story line and a setting;
or you have a setting (by which I mean a "world", so to speak), which you fill with a story and a character;

or are these irrelevant questions, because you need all three to even start writing - notwithstanding the possibility that the end result will still differ from the original intention in the course of the process

Why do I have this heap of unsorted scribbled notes, with flashes of ideas, maps, descriptions, history, links,... lying around on my desk? Am I normal?
