Okay, so I am getting ready to work on my new “story” in a little while. I thought to get the process started I would try and explain what I am attempting to do. I am going to copy and paste what I sent to an old friend I made a deal with early this morning.
“Okay here is the deal; I am going to write this in pretty font. That isn't the deal; I am writing a story about four men who are the same person, but exist as individuals in the same time. There will be a woman who is four different things, different to each of those men, sometimes the line gets crossed among them all, but she is also only one person. Then you have Jolene who is one person, everybody, and nobody <-- see how I italicized it? I have to flesh out each of those different personalities, their relationship with Jolene, and with Polly, and then I have to flesh out Jolene(s) and Polly, as well as their relationship with those four guys. I also have to make people hate Jolene, and love her, feel sympathy for her and want to save her from herself. I have to make people see her trying to destroy the travelers, and her torment and not being able to keep from doing it. Then I have to make people love Polly for being a strong, eloquent, and mean as a snake woman. I have to show Jolene as kind hearted, but dangerous like a destructive vice. I have to show Polly as someone you want to dislike, even if for just a moment, and then someone you want to go grab a bat for and walk behind her as she battles things from purgatory and color filled dreams that come to life. I like this font. I have to establish my symbolism, my metaphors, and allusions. I am going to take all of those stories I have written and throw them into a big black cauldron, mix them together with the same stick that Charon used to navigate the Styx, and then make them into a stew you would take to the church potluck. I will use new perspectives, untold stories, and a handsome (and humble) troubled man as the spice. Sounds like fun don't it?”
I also think that the seven levels of Alighieri’s purgatory and the tasks involved may end up in there as well. Some of them found their way into the story by accident. Reading Jolene again will give a basic outline, but I have already written five or six thousand words just for Ishmael. I wish I could edit the Jolene story as I have changed and revised it a bit. The main trouble I am going to have is the size of it; it is already huge. Maybe I should tell one story at a time, and do it in parts.
Just thought I would share. Feedback is welcome and appreciated. I really do like that other font, too bad it doesn't show here.

It's still a pretty font.

I don't know the difference of the font... I see mine all the same in a colour I choose :yh_tong2
What I do like is the synopsis. In fact, I love it!
That's fabulous. Are you going to wait until the end to reveal the four guys are all the same person?

They story I wrote here will be made into the ending, but as for when that comes who knows. This thing is going to get out of hand before it is done. I will allude to the fact that they are the same through descriptions of the place they are in, and traits they share; as well as the women telling their stories. I haven't decided how clear I will make it just yet. I am introducing the three besides my present self (that is the best I can describe that character right now) early on. Most of it through Ishmael's eyes, or the lack of them, and through the blonde on the Harley.
