It hasn't been entirely successful. I thought I'd sit down with a few prompts and write, but not a whole lot has come out other than some attempts at character information, a list of prompts (which aren't exactly speaking to me), and an anemic outline.
I've switched to writing this blog post to try to jump start the process. It's entirely possible that trying to write from an outline is the problem, and I'm going to switch back to a technique of free-associations of images–I don't remember if it was Gene Wolfe or Ray Bradbury who would sometimes follow a thread of images to a story, so we'll see.
At least the house is cleaner and the dog has been exercised and the cats fed.
