I've gotten the idea to rewrite Under Northern Skies as a free verse recollected narrative, in order to heighten the language I hope to get across without the shackles of conventional literature. How much I'll actually stick to this idea, I don't know, but hopefully I can at some point get the story out in a complete format I can be proud of.
A lot of its suggestions and foreshadowings have by recent events been pushed into the territory of absurdism now that the post-truth age has gone mainstream, but I hope to keep some kind of grounded sentimentalism and dignity about it.
It'll be my last semester of school. I'll have to scrounge some kind of career together. I'll keep you all posted when I can.
