Relentless Waves Update
2 years ago
General
So here's the hang-up on the next chapter of Relentless Waves. In all my infinite wisdom, I've decided to tell it from a 1st person POV. An alien, with two minds and one body, from the 1st person POV. And it gets even better! This (former human) alien isn't used to having two minds, and they are constantly joining and separating to change their identity along with control over different bodily coordinations!
Maybe you see the problem there? It's confusing as all heck, and I wrote it. I can't predict how much sense it'll make to anybody else. I'll go out on a limb and guess none.
That's where I'm at. Agonizing over whether to let y'all try to make sense of that acid trip. Or rewrite everything to be (slightly) less confusing by having somebeing with a more conventional mind observe the havoc of three species on one island.
I also have come to realize that most of my more recent stories are kind of downers. Which is, of course, entirely my fault and may or may not be an external expression of my cynical contempt for... uh... humanity. So look for something more lighthearted and whimsical to come next. Perhaps it'll even help my mood. Not responsible for any cavities that may develop reading what I have in mind.
Keep those wings flapping, fellow dragons,

I continue to think about your stories they're pretty amazing. I often wish there where a dragon involved in my life... Sorry if I sound creepy or anything

I think I'd like to read the wild, two-minds-one-body POV chapter. I think that it being horribly confusing and extremely disorienting kind of gets the point and feeling across. Even if it doesn't make sense, it will put the audience in the shoes of the individual going through it, and that's... honestly more powerful than any description of the experience that 'makes sense'.

I'd like to see the first version too ... the POV switch may be a real 'asset', as long as it engages (not frustrates) the reader?
