The End of All Things<\/em> took me longer to write than most of my books do, in part because I had a number of false starts. These false starts weren\u2019t bad\u2014in my opinion\u2014and they were useful in helping me figure out what was best for the book; for example, determining which point-of-view characters I wanted to have, whether the story should be in first or third person, and so on. But at the same time it\u2019s annoying to write a bunch of stuff and then go Yeaaaaah, that\u2019s not it. So it goes.<\/p>\n

Through various false starts and diversions, I ended up writing nearly 40,000 words\u2014almost an entire short novel!\u2014of material that I didn\u2019t directly use. Some of it was recast and repurposed in different directions, and a lot of it was simply left to the side. The thing is when I throw something out of a book, I don\u2019t just delete it. I put it into an \u201cexcise file\u201d and keep it just in case it\u2019ll come in handy later.<\/p>\n

Like now: I\u2019ve taken various bits from the excise file and with them have crafted a first chapter of an alternate version of The Life of the Mind<\/em>, the first novella of The End of All Things<\/em>. This version (roughly) covers the same events, with (roughly) the same characters, but with a substantially different narrative direction.<\/p>\n

In an alternate universe, an alternate version of me went ahead with this version, and The End of All Things<\/em> ended up being a rather different book. Which would be cool. I\u2019d like to meet up with that John Scalzi and trade books.<\/p>\n

Please note: This version of the story is noncanonical and mildly spoilery for the version that is, in fact, canonical. While you don\u2019t have to read the official version of The Life of the Mind<\/em> to read this (or to enjoy it), I recommend that you do to fully appreciate the compare and contrast.<\/p>\n

Also, this version ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger. Which will never be resolved. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
