Mind of the Manic
Once upon a time, circa the days in which I had free time, I’d write about any given reality that was not this one. Consequently, there are a great deal of rogue concepts and tall tales scattered between Word documents and old spiral notebooks. But the linear story told here is that of a manic marionette living in a soul stealing sideshow.
During the summer of 2017, I was in-between seasons of Howl O Scream, mentally burnt out with my then job, and finding my creative trigger itching for an outlet of entertainment.
Channeling my HOS withdrawal and anticipation of impending rehearsals, I figured it would be good character development and that much needed entertainment to write from the perspective of the character I played, Madeline. What would be going on in the world of a living marionette doll whose home is an otherworldly circus?
And thus, the diary-esque journal entries you’ll find below from the Mind of the Manic.
2017
Present Update
Back from the Sinistro circus, I am still working on transcribing the journal entries here. They continue through to the end of the 2017 season and jump to the 2019 season (resuming after my stint as an English harlot in 2018). So, keep an eye out for future entries! This notice will be replaced once all of them have been posted.
