Garanemu in my head

alpharaposaSo, I have two stories about Garanemu currently competing in my head. One is a fairly serious story about a pivotal event in his life, which I stopped writing because the muse skipped out on me. The second is a fluffy thing that just came to mind one day. Since working on the fluffy thing, the first one has returned and been more forthcoming.
But now I have a problem with the fluffy thing. What's the conflict? I'm trying to figure out how to make this a story, and not just a sort of day in the life travelogue.
I mean, part of it will be about Garanemu adjusting to the things that happened to him back in the fairly serious story, but... shouldn't there be more?
In any case, I'm glad that scenes and stuff are coming, even so. Cute scenes, like a girl from town pestering Gyrth with all sorts of bizarre questions (from Gyrth's point of view). And the serious scenes from the first story are showing up now, more slowly but in better shape than my first efforts at it.
And they all come out of sequence, which seems to be how my brain works. No wonder I have a hard time keeping a serial going.
