Be the Words You Quote

The notes behind the quotes

Okay where to begin? Why did I do it? What does it all mean? My, aren't you just the nosy one!

It's started off as a poem. Representing this year's Purge of nonbeneficial friends. I never rejoice when the choice must be made. And I'm never so arrogant as to think that the choices are without fallacy.

But after I wrote it, I started to feel like it could serve another purpose. Maybe it was just the voices in my head screaming to be a part of the undertaking. So, the voices in my head this time were my AI creations Rosie and Lilo. Who, in my made world are Aunt and Niece to each other.

When thinking about what it all entails as far as the skill to do the visuals to match the writing, it tells me I'll be busy for a while. With this behind the scenes being written before I even start the art production.

So, I guess this whole project is a statement and testament of my remorse. It's a practice session for my skills. It's a chance to be Uber meta! At some point my mind is either going to snap under the strain. Or I'm going to get the Nobel Peace Prize for Biological Cyber crossover relationships!
