Quiet reflection.
Writing cons can feel like drinking from a firehose. A lot of information comes in, and there's so much to get excited about.
I find that it helps to take time to digest it all, mull it over and then figure out how to incorporate what I've leaned into my writing.

It's an editing day for me.
Then if there's time, I might punch out some new lines.

I try to plot.
I really do.
I have files full of brainstormed ideas, beat sheets, plot skeletons, character sketches, and various other structure templates.
But the moment I start writing, the work takes on a life of its own. For the most part, I'm just hanging on and screaming "aahh!"

I have a file that I label "proto-stories."
Once I have a kernel of an idea, I start playing with it. I write out an opening, maybe a few scenes... to see if I can make it work. If it's good, I keep going with it. If it's not, it goes into the protoplasm of undeveloped ideas for later.
