The Story So Far...

I know there have been many, many posts to keep track of in The Perpetual Playlist experiment.

What say you? Is a phoenix rising from the ashes? Have you fallen asleep? Have you been inspired? Angered? Bored? Can you envision the tortured journey of a lonely soul? Did the villain triumph? Are you groping around in the dark for a cohesive plot? Do you have an unexplainable urge to throttle the protagonist for being so dark and moody all the time? Sound off in the comments.

I've got a few grand finale pieces still tucked up my sleeve to tie this thing together and wrap it up. Stay tuned!
