writer's melancholy

That's the truth of it, what happens when I go about editing.

I went back to my Nano novel from last year because I've been watching Lost and kinda like to do some sci fi editing for a bit.  Even though I intended it to be steam punk, it really is just mainstream sci fi.  Anyway, looking back at it, I can't help but be extremely bored.

There's the rub.

Of course it's unexciting.  It's a rough draft.  I'd just like for once to write something that isn't completely crap in its initial stages.  You know, pump out a brilliant piece the first go around.  Just once.

And then realizing that it's not only crap but 50,000+ words of crap to wade through and turn into something worthwhile.  Well, that's just exhausting.

In any case, I don't imagine much will be coming of Clover any time soon.  Back to this year's "novel," which may secretly be a prose-based poetry piece in the long form.

Onward!

Consistent with "reverse positioning" understand the REAL Second coming would equate with The Matrix's Anti-Christ, the fake battle of good and evil which will come at the end.
I have spoken on this issue in years past. Understanding how they use the political environment to redefine people's value system, realize anyone who speaks of the old world and its ways will envoke hatred. So when/if the Anti-Christ comes along speaking of reverting back to what liberalism would consider repressed and immoral may be the only hope to salvage the god's favor and keep moving forward rather than begin the 1000 year clock. The fake Second Coming will feed into this political enviornment.
