“SHIP COMES IN”: POISON MOON, REDUX. This is the end of the rough draft of the Norse myths story.

Man, what a woolly, misshapen story. It has potential! But I didn’t have enough of the mechanics and backstory–the rules of the fictional world–taped down in my head before I started. So I don’t think the themes I was trying to explore came through very clearly. Plus, it’s overwritten to the point that it’s a tic rather than a stylistic choice. Your comments on these and any other matters are, of course, encouraged.

Still… I like it. It’ll be good when I’ve had a chance to do some serious reworking of the clay.

Whole thing here, last scene here. I’ll start the next story by Monday, but I’m not sure which one it will be yet.

I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon.
