Excuse my ignorance but plot bunnies? I've never heard the term.
Hahaha sorry. I do always think it's a more universal term than it might be... I learned the term from Nano, but the internet defines it as "From the metaphorical image of the writer's brain producing ideas with the abundance and speed with which rabbits are fabled to breed." also "An idea for a story (usually used to refer to fanfic) that gnaws at the brain until written."
I do think of them more like dust bunnies of the subconscious -- they roll around out of sight and reach under the bed until they are knocked free and then there's an unexpected clump of plot at your feet.
Speaking of plot, I've recently realised I've spent the entire 6 years on SL developing the wrong character. I've been focusing on the main villain, when he isn't the main villain at all. He's just a pawn of the real villain, who has been pretending to be the hero the whole time!

That sounds AMAZING. Also, I'm over here dying because I've been on the same MS for a year...(with another half a first draft, plotting and various happening around it). Clearly, I have commitment issues.
On that note, the agent crit I got came back. The crit is helpful because I think it's all true, but unhelpful because I'm not totally sure how to improve any of those things. Given the state of life at the moment, I've decided it's concrete evidence I suck at life. Might feel differently tomorrow, but who knows.
