Brief stuff. I'm off to fucking Chatham for 8 weeks on a pilot project, so I'm going to be a little sporatic and only around on weekends. If you need to reach me, e-mail at bryanttelfer@yahoo.com.

Just sent a huge chunk of FOYKs out to be pre-betaed. Realized that I'm basically relearning how to write again for this story. I keep coming back to a sparse Japanese idea of writing called shodo, the art of writing controlled explosions on paper. This idea of a raw burst of idea wrapped around by an intense modern scattershot staccato dialogue, so you have these almost violent bursts of ideas and descriptions, and rapidfire interactions.
It's exhausting and intense, and keeps just going along. I've got some real invest in this work, and I'm thinking of a lot of ways to take these lessons into my normal work. One of my biggest problems is my inability to leave the sarcastic bullshit that I hide a lot with, shielding myself from a real emotional connection in my work. This process has cut through that without damning me into an insipid melodramatic sort of drivel.
I guess we'll have to see if I'm successful
