Checking in

Nearly a month has gone, and though there is little to report, I know I needed to check in. I've finished E06, meaning the series is nearly half-drafted. That's a pretty good rate considering the idea came to me at the last CONvergence (a sci fi convention I attend each 4th of July weekend) and I spent the better part of the year not writing SL. I am working on a new Icebox script. It doesn't take precident, exactly, but I have fixed deadlines for Icebox.

I'm reading a book Diane found for me called "H.P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life" by M Houellebecq. I have often wondered about Lovecraft and his significance in questions of religion. Here was a man with no faith to speak of who envisioned a universe that predated a creator God. His was an evil place made of dreams, the deeper their origin in the subconscious, the better. It really begs the question, is there a place, either in the physical world or the world of the mind, where God is completely absent? That might be the entire point of the SL. This is a place where God is absent. Or is he.
