What a great idea, I think I'm going to do something similar, like a flowchart of the plotline that's already happened, and where things could lead in the future. It's nice to be able to see things in a concise manner, right in front of you like that. It reminds me of work, we do all our drawings on the computer, so sometimes I get frustrated with having to print things out all the time. I'm just like "Can't you look at my monitor and see everything you need to see!" but actually, it's only when you print it that you see things sometimes, even glaring mistakes, because it's all together right at your hand.

I really enjoyed the Hokage's idea of making deals to garner information out of Gaara. I wonder if Sakura will try and be subtle about it - "If I know more about you I feel more comfortable when you touch me, hug me." Or if she'll just come out and say it - "I'll hug you if you tell me how long you've been with Temari." Can't wait until the next chapter :D

You're an architect, right? I had actually considered going into such a career when I was younger, and took a few classes on drafting. I know how to make basic blue prints, and to measure things fairly precisely (Which came in handy when making graphs and the like for algebra presentations at school. ^_~), but it's only basic stuff. Funny, how the career I want to go into now is music... which has basically nothing to do with architecture.

I'm excited myself about whats going to happen between Gaara and Sakura in the future, though it will be a couple of more chapters before I get to that point. It's strange, because when I sit down to write another chapter, I find myself laughing or giggling at all the things I add that lead up to a bigger scene. It's like I have my own little secret, and am typing it out for all the world to see. But the world only sees a small piece of the puzzle, whereas I know how things are going to turn out.

On the other hand, sometimes even I don't know what will happen next. So many things have changed in my story; deviated from the path I had previously set. I gave up writing a full-story outline for my fiction a long time ago, and just decided it would be better to keep track of the twists and turns that have already happened.

I may make another post just filled with ideas I want to happen sometime during the duration of this fiction. Since it doesn't have a heavy plot, and mainly consists of character development, I have free reign to do whatever I want to, as long as everyone remains in character.

Fiction is funny like that. One day, you sit down to write a story, and the next you find that you are slave to that story's will.
