When I wrote the last communique, a couple things were going on. Our own Gabriel has been printing sticky things using a midnight collaboration between two devices, one that has rent him, body and mind. Only stickers now hold together that assortment of parts, a moist catalog that would just as soon go its separate ways. So maybe it's a good thing, on the whole, that he has invented these things, because it has allowed him to retain a human shape. Anyway, that's what the strip is about.
I only just wrote the previous post, because it had been later than I wanted. But I note at the end that one of my big projects was Writing The Novel, and I placed (very difficult) just after it. I should say that I felt the terror of that task even greater than a tiny parenthetical could contain.
I remember when I was writing the second Precipice Game, and I had been given a ridiculous amount of time to complete it in. Just literally, actually insane. I was working on it, boiling my mind away, when I stopped for a second, looked at Mike, and said, "I don't think I can do this." He nodded slightly, and said, "I know."
When it was completed, on time, a week before I looked over at Mike and said, "I think I can do this" and he said "I know" again. What are we supposed to extract from this?! What I chose to extract was that as far as he is concerned, there's literally nothing I can't accomplish in one of my domains - but I need to believe it also. Well, weirdly enough, when I look at that phrase in the old post I don't recognize it and I don't even recognize the mind that executed it, outside of understand what they actually mean, which is that they can't do it. But I can, because it's done.
I have more to do, I need to have a Non Jerry Entity (NJI) read it and help me understand the things I can't even see in the document - little assumptions and so forth so far down I don't even see them. But in terms of the writing itself - actually manufacturing novel text - it's so second nature now that I just moved on to the third Lexcalibur and the Lookouts novel. It's a tremendously weird feeling and I want to hold on to it for as long as possible.
