What Happened in the Story: Madeline tries the Kinetoscope for the first time, and is irritated to find all it shows are silent movies of living people having memories of her. She sees her mother, her sister, her father, the woman from the front desk of the office she visited the day she died, her neighbors, and a man she doesn’t recognize, but not her boss, which is who she was hoping to see, to confirm her package arrived okay. Frustrated, she decides to go back and talk to Irene to see if there’s a way to see exactly what you want to see, not just what it serves.
Additional Notes: Took a while to get started today, but not because I was lazy! I was getting my back-end business stuff set up, registering with the IRS, all that FUN junk one needs to do, but it’s done! I even opened a business bank account! Isn’t that exciting? Not really, but kinda? Anyway–got all that stuff done, and then got to writing work. It was a bit clunky today, and I may need to cut that scene back a bit, since it *feels* long, but we’ll see when we come back to it.
Oh! But I’ve got pictures from the party!
Thanks for following along, and I hope you enjoy the ride! I’ll try and make these daily updates (on writing days), but I’ll probably miss a few now and then. Sorry about that in advance, but I’ll do my best to be consistent. If you’re craving some personal stakes in this process, feel free to toss me a “You Can Do It!” donation at my Ko-fi shop! I’m going to need a lot of coffee for this…
