So today just happened.
Nov. 5th, 2023 11:27 amToday, I figured out one of the hugest last missing pieces to the giant puzzle that is The Un-Iverse finale "The Terran Wars". And usually those story puzzle pieces are figured out in the outline shortly before scripting starts. I don't know why that is, but I've always been blessed there, and as the finale has come closer and closer, that specific hole has worried me more and more.
The fact that I filled it, and it wasn't too big of a struggle when the time came, tells me something real and scary. This is happening. The 19 Part Un-Iverse finale that I envisioned as a teenager in the early 1990's IS going to be scripted and put to paper. Soon. Not just within my lifetime (which always seemed like a pipe dream back then) but within a couple of years. I probably won't have it finished for a few years. But I honestly believe me starting me entire life's goal is actually less than a year away. That is both absolutely terrifying and wonderful in equal measure.
Also should note this specific hole being filled makes the arc FAR more epic than I originally envisioned going on 30 years. And this was already the most epic thing I'd ever conceived / written. The new idea adds a certain amount of weight I had no clue I was going to give things. And the cliffhangers in this arc are gonna be far more crazymaking than they already were because of this idea.
Gilda And Meek are coming back. Soon. And I finally will tell their stories to completion. After over 30 years of planning I've almost made. I can taste it.
