so today is day 18. how are you faring with the project?
i've been putting mine up in my blog, but it's in reverse order so is hard to read as a project in that form. what's useful for me anyway is that i can read the parts as isolated bits and see if they work on their own.
i gave up on the word limit pretty early on, but i think the piece is much bigger than the number of words would have you think because it's so much about forgetting and erasure and blank spaces around and inside of what you remember.
it's moving in and out of memory and dream materials, mixing the two up, mapping one onto the other.
there are some abrupt direction shifts. not sure whether they're problematic or just part of the machinery.
i still have no plot or real characters. there's no actual story. i think it's fun to read though.
and your project?
and you with the project?
