ALIEN: the aching dichotomy... finally, after trying a few alternatives, came up with a satisfactory methodology for how to depict the (serial killer) narrator wrt his public persona aka laundryman Bald Kevin. I have about 30,000 words of this diary-written novel typed into the computer with more pages still to type in, so it's going well. The old story is blending into the new, with a totally fresh perspective on the central character and how/why he does what he does.
