Whether it stays or goes, it's a cool idea! I love the twist that humans are in the zoo and every species can only see the ones below it (and thus be at the top of the zoo chain).

Baths and chocolate are indeed vital parts of my process, though sadly I cannot eat as much chocolate as my inner child desires. Index cards are terrific. I thank Shannon for that idea. One idea per card, dump it in the box. That way you can disconnect and reconnect ideas as needed, or shuffle them around, or discard ones that no longer interest you. I have them subcategorized into Pictionary categories: People/Places/Things, Objects, Actions (Plots), Difficult (Phrases, Snippets, Unknowns), and All-Play (Titles). Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm going to assume that baths and chocolate are always a critical part of the writing process. I like your index card idea - I've used notebooks for years, but once a notebook runs out of paper, I tend to file it and forget it. Thanks for posting this! What a cool look into your process!
