The Would-Be-Protagonist is fed up languishing in a forgotten manuscript, and aims to do something about it - and that includes exploring virtually everything.
There’s more to this than meets the eye. A character in an all but forgotten manuscript, the writer and her pseudonym in a never-ending triangle – and an imaginary soul delving into the mysteries of life. A story for the inquisitive mind, for fellow writers, and apprentice writers, too.
‘You all have some kind of skeleton rattling in your cupboards, haven’t you? You know, the manuscript you meant to finish – or the one that needs just a little bit of editing. No? Not a single one? Go on, who do you think you are kidding?
Well, my creator has me - and a few more, I’m sure, but they are not bothering me - not for now, anyway. I might have to look into that, though. You never know when one of them might jump out of the woodwork. In the meantime I’m going to try to make myself heard, to make the case for taking up my cause again. I’ll rattle her and worry her, nudge her and whisper in her ear for as long as it takes. She’s not getting rid of me, even if she has suddenly started favouring other protagonists, in other settings. I was first!’
