Irony Just Isn't Funny Any More

I'm exhausted.

Finished the editing and sent it back, by the way, but that's nothing to do with it.

No, the exhaustion is from the next idea(s). Stardawn is a kind of standby progression because holy hell, that's going to be a saga and a half. I'll be lucky if I don't end up with a character for every letter of the alphabet. Likewise, Substance Dualism is a slow-go area because that is one of those things that I will be still writing and adding to when I'm ninety and decrepit (?) and in a nursing home with a pretty attendant feeding me apricot yoghurt.

Yeah, I know, we all have dreams.

But then there's Postscript.

Postscript is its new name. Originally, Postscript was Substance Dualism. Yes, confusing. Don't worry, it gets worse.

Postscript is a supernatural story...in which you see no supernatural creatures whatsoever. The ones alluded to aren't even particularly out-of-this-world. None of this sparkly vampire crap, cheers.

Ghosts. Ordinary, boring, cello-playing (not kidding) ghosts.

Nothing big about that.

And yet I managed to write, according to Nicky, the most powerfully emotional scene of my career to date, in Postscript.

Go figure.
