newnumber6I must have been in ten more realities since I was last able to write... which I'm doing now on a letterhead with my name on it. Anyway, I've been on the run from zombies, been in various TV shows and books, been a rock god, been in several very nearly (damnit) compromising positions... my early theory is correct... every one of these unrealities is part of some alternate life I've imagined for myself (although, oddly, often some time has passed from the last point I imagined myself in them). I now think I know what causes me to shift from one to the other...
It's like the lucid dream rules - pain or intense emotion such as excitement (damnit) or fear, instead of 'waking me up', move me into an entirely new reality. The only chance I may have of staying in any one reality is to try and clamp down on my emotions entirely.... well, that's not true, there are other chances... some of these unrealities have magic or high tech or other weird stuff... if I can find one and explain my situation, maybe they'll be able to come up with something that sticks me there.
Right now, though, I seem to be an executive of a TV network... Firefly is still an ongoing series, but I'm afraid of seeing an episode and either being so amazed I jump or being so disappointed at how the quality has gone down that I jump. The irony. There are also a half dozen other cool sounding shows on the production schedule, including at least one I think I created all by myself.
