The
strategy centers around faking your own death. For added buzz, you
should also consider spinning the story so that you died while blogging
in order to gain maximum A-List penetration (reminding them of their
own mortality might be the last way available to get them to link
outside of their personal echo chambers).
You’re likely thinking that this sounds like a solid strategy, all
except for the being dead part. I hear you. While there’s always the
rejuvenating option of adopting a persona who is carrying on with the
blog after your unfortunate demise, let’s take a look at some “back
from the dead” techniques that have worked for decades in sophisticated
character dramas such as Days of Our Lives, One Life to Live, and The
X-Men.
* It was really your evil twin who died
* You were cloned shortly after birth
* You were temporarily in the witness protection
program, sorry for the inconvenience
* Abducted by aliens and replaced with a replica
droid always seems to work
* You are now blogging in a dream sequence
* Actual resurrection from the dead (requires the
right family connections)
