LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS is a light project. The pun is intentional.
I've long tried to make something that doesn't immediately collapse
under its own gravity and stops me working on it. This is an effort
to teach myself to take my writing less seriously, so that I can
teach myself to keep it up continuously, day after day. We try
things. Sooner or later they should work.
But anyway. The name of the game is surreal serial microfiction. This
concept comes straight from Professor Night, a delightful
webseries/movie/comic book/thing that happens in Warren Ellis'
Supreme Blue Rose, as
well as some pages out of his The Wild Storm that I think are
supposed to be about music videos. They're just these strange
disconnected little scenes with questionably narrative
captions and questionably narrative continuity with each other,
presented as questionably fictional stories in questionably ambiguous
forms of media within the comics. I've long wanted to do something in
that vein, and apparently all it took was rereading Worm and
the aforementioned Blue Rose at the same time to figure out I
could do it by skipping the drawing step and just write. Well, mostly
just write. I'm not making any promises.
