Stupid Questions

Stupid Questions was originally a short story (well, a novella) of about 35,000 words. I decided to redevelop it with more character development and a slower pace, aiming to give the characters more layers and more realism than they had in the previous version. It was completed on June 3, 2012.

The test reader list is closed, but e-mail me if you would like information about the project.


MORE ABOUT STUPID QUESTIONS:

Nick Harris, news station cameraman, gets the shock of a lifetime when a guest on his show nonchalantly demonstrates apparently superhuman abilities. Intrigued by the enigmatic Summer Astley, he finds himself stumbling into asking her out after the show, and though her telekinetic powers are amazing, he's quite a lot more interested in who she is under the mask. After a weird couple of dates, Summer and Nick begin a long-distance relationship and try to figure each other out, but Nick is still struggling with baggage from his last relationship and Summer has no social skills due to growing up in isolation. Summer also believes that Nick has an uncanny ability of his own and is borderline obsessed with making him explore the possibility, but Nick insists that his unusual perceptiveness is just an offshoot of his observational skills. As these two rather unique people try to figure out how to fit into each other's lives, they find themselves answering as many questions as they ask.
