Friday and Saturday today. Whoops, we solved. My brother mother and I. On the recent front it was talking with my mom that led to the breakthrough. It was a lot of me throwing ideas at her, but that wasn’t all. She would keep asking me how does this advance his character, keeping me on track, is it intrinsic to the story or just an add on? She had me compare him to the original version, the one my brother is now doing in comic form and got the little quester out of the second. Oh it was great. With Saturday it was really all my brother. By the way, just to keep things straight, we’re talking about the second version of Friday and the first of Saturday. And for Saturday, man, there was no way I could up with what my brother did in a day. In day. Or I don't know, less? I had been working on it for months. Basic idea: a series of encounters that would force our heroes to work together to solve it. See, I thought I’d need some epic scale thing, like they were going in to fight the evil empire but that was all wrong. Instead it becomes a personal journey into greater and greater strangeness.
So anyway, all this means I’ve been super up, mind going like crazy all day, so yay, chance to worry about the crash. And I am worried, I’ll be honest with you. Hoping some work on the DB itself will tire myself out enough to at least feel sleepy.
At least it’s given me something better to write about on the Diaries too. Otherwise my life here is contained in those little lozenges to the rhythm of the IV drip. Drip drip drip. Not a great beat, let me tell you. Oh yeah, it’s also punctuated by the screaming pain of those IV needles so they can get my drip drip drip party started. No no, the Dark Backwards is much better, if I can only stay in it for as long as possible. And if possible…
Complete it?
Damn it, I want to live so much.
"A personal journey into greater and greater strangeness", that sounds interestingly relatable..I can not wait to read your book! It's nice to have people to throw ideas around with, and it sounds like it was quite productive. At first I thought you were seriously talking about the days of the week, I was so confused!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the confusion. I guess that was intentional? I think it was more that I was so into it I kind of forgot Friday and Saturday are days too.
