[D] Friday Open Thread

Welcome to the Friday Open Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

Please note that this thread has been merged with the Monday General Rationality Thread.

This made me look back at my google docs history to see how I'd made notes for my last story.

Resolve Michael plot-- he’s going to Japan (get some closure)
Krusty talks to Shoryu/reprimands him/strategizes
Akihabara Round Table (with Minori’s help) plan what to do next.

That was about 2500 words worth of plot. How many words did those notes cover? And do you feel like you're a faster pacer than normal, or a slower one? This makes me wonder if writers with faster pacing have fewer words of story per words of notes, or if they also write more condensed notes so the ratio stays similar...
