Now that I’ve finished Freefall, it’s time to move on to new stories and projects. I’m brainstorming new ideas for more Duskland Tales but I’m pretty busy, so it will probably be a while before you see anything from that. I’ve got some older stories that I intend to modify for the sake of Duskland though they weren’t originally intended to be a part of this Twilight Zone-esque experiment.
I’m also working on revising Freefall and planning on posting the entire story as one piece as opposed to the 14 parts it is currently in. I’m considering adding a brief prologue, I’ve already extended a few scenes to clarify some things, and I need to ensure that my timeline is consistent. The prologue and extended scenes won’t detract from the ambiguity of the story as a whole, but will rather serve to better develop the character of Tom. He’s an interesting character and I really enjoyed creating him and his little personality quirks, giving some additional background on the character might be a good thing.
Also, now that it’s done, I’m open for discussion of Freefall. If there was something that you liked, didn’t like, are curious about, would like some more insight on, and so forth–ask away and I’d be more than happy to have a conversation about it. I love hearing what readers take away from a piece of writing and Freefall is likely the most ambiguous story I’ve worked on so far; I’m really interested in discussing what your thoughts on the story are. What do you think is real and imagined? Is Tom dreaming at the end? I’d really like to know what you think.
