Sequel Update
I'm sitting here at my desk, determined to not only vanquish this bottle of wine, but finish writing at least 5 pages tonight."It was a key, a symbol, a pattern of a shape that directed him. It was an aberration of iconography that delved deeper into his brain, scattering everything he had known in favor of a simple image of a circle, cleanly broken at its end, with an arrow pointing back to its origin."
I'm finding the process of writing this novel a unique challenge, because I'm essentially referencing The Overman graphic novel as though it were ancient legend. The idea is to introduce readers to the graphic novel as a back-story, beneath the main plot unfolding in the novel. It's an odd balancing act, and I'm finding myself shuffling chapters around, which I hadn't expected to do--but so far I'm happy with the pacing. It's in such an unrefined condition at the moment, but the foundation is building up nicely. As of tonight, I have 54 pages written (nearly 10,000 words).
