I’ve been writing Kpleeb’s story for a while now – over five years – and intentionally winging it with each chapter. It’s an experiment of writing as time allows and not really knowing where the story goes. The problem is that a storyline with baggage needs to be toted. If Kpleeb is a meter tall today, he can’t plausibly show up being two meters tall in the next chapter…. Sure, it’d be cool as heck, but… Well anyway, once the past is written, it needs to be drug along behind the way a turkey buzzard drags a juicy carcass off the road. The burden is real.
I recently had time to drive for 15 hours in a day, alone. This time was useful in that I could plan ahead in a way I could never get working all day and feeling absolutely braindead at the end. There was no way I could end this story without planning, so I did. Meandering is not entertaining.
Then I had to figure out the logistics, and calculate how the slipnet works and the power draw over distances. I usually like visualizing, and I guess I’m a nerd… So I made a map that I’ll update with orb names and paths traversed as I move forward.
On my version, 0.168 pixel is a day’s travel without the Xi terminals. There are no conversions to kilometers, guinea pig feet, or lightyears. Gonna be a fun trip.
