>>10430923>>10430923Sooo. It is well-established by now that I'm a keen muser. My spidey-senses are telling me that you appear to be a well-lettered writer of tales, as your command of language says as much.
So, if I may, I am wondering if you'll humor me for a few minutes, read what's on my mind, and tell me if you think this might be believable.
It's this tale of intrigue that I've been working on for, oh, the past two months, elements of which weave together a rather circular string of events whose main theme is constant, yet, unfolded in very inconstant ways..with many seemingly unrelated sets of circumstances that meet the eye first in a whisper, then in a 'bang', if you will, that wind up being one particular thing in the end.
Think Occam's Razor.
The most interesting part centers around a number of similar characters who, despite their paths crossing often, hardly ever intersect beyond those 'shoulder bumps' typically seen in crowded places. Things not quite being what they seem.
However, in the end, in a flash-back sequence of snippets, it's revealed that 'each and every' one was working in conjunction as a unit.
The fill-ins, themselves, are no problem for me to conjure up in style.
However, being the tale of intrigue that it is, there need be segments which must remain just that: intrigue. Discrete.
The *one* problem I am having is this: that *one* aspect that *almost* seems hell-bent on eluding me. Things may be getting lost in a mountain of illusions.
The difficulty is not one of theory, but of *words*. It's not a blockage.
As I face-palm myself rereading this, I guess my question is this: is it a far-flung concept that multiple themes can really be just one and the same? If so, I can take it from there and work with it.
Otherwise, I remain flummoxed, lost in smoke and mirrors...which really do not compute within my highly amplified brain. Richard & Karen was very tricky business. I am on twitter.
