Chaos by Coltrane. Putting (and breaking) the rule in unruliness!

Inside Joke IV – Let’s See How Far We Can Go Before Brian Can’t Figure Out Roman Numerals.

Khee! Yeah, many of y’all out there know that the story known pretty much as K5 (or as I call it, K5 Through Infinity) has been in progress now for well over two years. It’s been quite an experience on both sides of the blue and black line. As Brian explained, there’s no pre-planning, no conferencing, no outlining. We just let the characters out and chaos reins supreme. For myself it’s been a rewarding challenge and a great opportunity to watch some new “blue” characters grow.

Speaking of “blue” characters, y’all may recognize that Atlanta skyline photo in Brian’s blog as the same that was used in a wallpaper design I made that was influenced by Jack.

It's all Jack's fault!

I say K5 Through Infinity because I think we can easily make it K5, K6 and probably even K7. Maybe even a K8. Yeah, the thing is that freakin’ huge.  Even with writing around jobs and various responsibilities, we’ve churned out a respectable length of manuscript. And y’all would probably appreciate the story broken up into manageable pieces!

Of course, part of the reason for the length is because I got all these cops, Feds, cops, district attorneys, cops, gangsters, cops, assassins, cops, Feds and cops runnin’ around in this thing that the ratio of good guys to bad guys has gotta be, I dunno, three to one? And the story threads just keep going and going and going. Where Brian is at a rare moment of indecision, I’m amazed by the fact that I’ve been able to keep things straight this far into the game and tie a lot of this stuff together. He says I have skill. I appreciate the praise, tho’ I’m more apt to call it dumb luck. Heh!

Meantime, since I managed to cause Brian to vapor lock on what he should do next in the story (and no, we’re not exactly near the end quite yet – maybe in a couple more years. Khee!), I expect the potshots on the blogs here will continue. C’mon, cousin, hit me with yer best shot…

Go ahead...

Max…well?
