Layers

On the way to work this morning I realise that there aren't enough layers to this piece. It seems to me that it's fairly obvious what is real and what isn't. Maybe that's because it's me thinking this but it dawned on me that I don't necessarily want people to be able to just go to my "other" page and determine what's real and what isn't. It kind of spoils the fun in a way and I want to add layers of metafiction to this piece rather than simply have one fictional story and one real story. Anyway that's why I've created a kind of hierarchy of two more blogs to impose further levels of analysis upon my overall research. This one then is the informal reflections on the writing process. In terms of ethical considerations I'm not sure I feel like I can completely keep this hidden from everyone's view so I've provided a link to this blog from the two main fictional blogs however I'm kind of relying on idleness and disinterest in my readers to not come here looking for answers. I'm not sure I'll be able to give them all anyway, if that makes sense. The basic premise then is this is "real" stuff though I'm already beginning to doubt what "real" really means. This is me writing as my self as I perceive me to be, not as the fictionalised version of myself that appears in the other two blogs and not as the academic voice that will find its way into the critical analysis when I start to write this.
