I’m finally in the special world. Now, I have a lot of thinking to do about the exact sequence of events that would happen given the scenario I’ve come up with. It’s a really cool scenario, but I have no idea if it’s too ridiculous for anyone to be willing to read it all the way through or not.
But time will tell, I guess.
It’s definitely a really interesting way to address how fucked up the Trump Era is.
But there’s plenty of time for people with more resources, more talent and better education to do a similar, better job at the same idea. And that doesn’t even begin to address my online history — and being a white male — which will make a lot of the intended see me as just another white male looking to exploit the experiences of people I, by definition, can’t empathize with because they don’t believe such a thing is legitimate in the first place.
Doing it the way I’m doing it — by developing first and then writing — really helps a lot. A whole lot. It gives me a lot of self-confidence going into the actual writing process because I have the scenario so well thought out.
If you don’t have enough confidence in me to let me do it this way, my way, I don’t really want you in my life in the first place.
