20210109 WIP Update - The Edwin Tripp Institution for Adults with Telekinetic Abilities

Unable to change/ one's facticity. One copes/ only with the angst. 

(The Edwin Tripp Institution for Adults with Telekinetic Abilities)

Hello good readers!

The project I have been focusing on the most the past two weeks is my next novel idea, the working title is "Orson Tripp", and I wanted to log an update on what I have thus far. 

The story takes place in a distant future winter at "The Edwin Tripp Institution for Adults with Telekinetic Abilities", situated in what was present-day northern Ontario. Eloise Orson is the newest of Overseer Edwin Tripp's inpatients, all of whom he personally treats for their maladapted telekinesis. Conflict centers on Eloise's angst over being born with T-K, which Tripp can only remedy and help her cope with. 

Admittedly, I lack much sharable content, however I am excited to see this project to its completion, I just wanted to get "Orson Tripp" to production-level so that I could lean on it while focusing on editing Spear-thrower and sharing SM-SARA. Tomorrow, I will fill in some plot details.

PS. This story was adapted from an earlier idea of mine, which was posted on our Patreon!

Previews of the upcoming "SM-SARA" HaikuPrajna Collection can be found here:  https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/p/sm-sara.html

Hello good readers,

We did it! We reviewed all of #MyYearInBooks for 2020, and every book review was condensed into a poem! If any of our readers has a Goodreads account, or if you enjoy reading and would like to keep track of books and reading goals, please add me on Goodreads, I would love to see some more familiar faces on the site.

April had brought Goodreads' annual hashtag to my attention, so we went through a HaikuPrajna Goodreads 2020 Year In Review! We had even been noticed by the authors we wrote on! This year, I may review my 2021 books as I finish them, so please stay tuned if you enjoyed these posts.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for partaking in this with me.

Until next time,
