The Gospel according to "Frozen II" (or, why Elsa is Jesus) (edit 6)

I've finished The Gospel according to "Frozen II" (or, why Elsa is Jesus) - but I'm still not sure if I'm happy with it. I'm considering revisiting it again in the future, perhaps putting out a condensed version of it.

Coronavirus endgame: how we get back to normal

Where do we go from here? And how do we get things back to normal, as quickly as possible?

This doesn't mean that anyone should panic, of course. You wouldn't panic over someone not wearing their seat belt, or lighting up a cigarette. But you'd clearly agree that these are bad ideas. And, again, the risks here increase exponentially with time. Soon enough it will be like getting in a car with a drunk driver. Without a seat belt. On a stormy night. For a drag race.

I'm still in the middle of writing The Gospel according to "Frozen II" (or, why Elsa is Jesus). I'm done with the rough draft, and now begins the iterative process of revising and editing. I think I may finish by next week if I'm lucky. You may next want to read: A systematic mythology of the […]

The Gospel according to "Frozen II" (or, why Elsa is Jesus) (edit 4)

I'm still in the middle of writing The Gospel according to "Frozen II" (or, why Elsa is Jesus). Again, this is turning out to be a difficult project, but I'm making good progress.
