Fluff. My story needs fluff. But.... I'm right in the middle of plot now. Like, right in the middle, of something crucial to the entire story. But I want to cut that short and write pointless fluff now.....
"Toss a bit of fluff into the plot for flavor, and let it simmer for a few minutes before dumping in the rest of the ingredients. Make sure that too much fluff is not added, or much of the plot may be overpowered."
