As Amy says when I wonder if I should do something exotic with plotlines: "You turned Giles into a vampire. I wouldn't worry about the rest."
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

It's a Connie-erika love-thang.
I've been writing this kind of stuff of eons, to good reviews, and every.single.time. I think "This is where they'll turn on me and tell me how they really feel." Confidence must be a lovely thing.

And a "I made him a vampire, and now this has to pay off," thing. This was why I didn't want to do it. But did the enablers listen? No, they didn't.

They never do. It's all "Oh, that sounds so cool, you have to do it!" Like that's at all helpful.

No, it's not.Incredibly exciting, maybe, but helpful? No.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Helpful how?
Just write the thing, and see where it goes.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

How about that? I'm sitting here procrastinating doing that very same thing.

I don't know...when you write yourself into something and get stuck.

Stuck. Yes. Like you're a couple of hundred pages into something and you suddenly realize you don't know how the thing should end. I hate endings. Everything's got to meet up and resolve and make sense.
