My secondary narrative is now running deep in the story line to great effect. It allowed me to establish a unique point of view of my protagonist's experience, and the fact that it is an alter ego allows me to explore more facets of humanity. The more I write, the more I look into my creations' minds, the more I feel like I am one of them. Their every thought, action, and intonation are visible but nebulous, endearing yet threatening, transitory and enduring. Through their lives, their backgrounds, and the unpredictable catastrophes that temper their wills one by one, I see the lines of narratives that run through their worlds and mine. I see the loops that enslave their fears and mine. The layers and layers of worlds stacked atop one another that seem to transcend worldliness. It is a truly awe inspiring sight.
I have successfully reached and surpassed my word-count goal, which is now 10,000. My next goal is to reach 1300 in two weeks. During that time, I want to experiment with writing while fasting for a day and a half. It will be interesting to experience creativity while under physical and mental duress (I also feel like that my life is too comfortable at the moment) and I will be recording my experience.
