a tree grows in my brain ~

[lookingland]

well it's come to this:

i found Preston day before yesterday (insert long explanation of how i'd somehow lost him in the move). as i set him on the shelf with isaac and hollis, the last two peeps to come into the fold, it struck me like a wet trout between the eyes: the gang's all here. i've managed to get the full cast assembled. finally. after 18 years.

and having, just last week, at long last answered the age-old question of "who's hollis?", i feel that i am plumb out of excuses to put off finishing this project and getting it off my table. narrative pov is no longer an issue. i'll mishmash if need be. or just write it straight. who cares ~ it'll come out as it comes out.

so the absolutely final question is how to write this bugger in terms of scope. and i'm gonna let you decide (way to take the pressure of responsibility off my shoulders ~ wooo!).

Just to qualify my answer....

If you write a bunch of littles, you could always turn them into a big if you so desired...

How exciting that the casting is now complete! Yay!

excellent point.

but couldn't a big honkin just as easily be parsed into littles?

does it really matter?

a collection of little is still littles.

(no, i'm really not having a conversation with myself here ~ hahahahaha)

I dunno...maybe. You could always ask it :)

I rather like the visual of a collection of littles...they'd look good on the bookshelf. That's a good way to decide, isn't it?

"How did you decide upon the form of your book?"

"Oh, I thought about the way it would look on the bookshelf."

(Just to carry on the thread of you writing to yourself, I thought I'd write you being interviewed by someone else...or maybe by yourself. You get to decide.....hee!)

hahahahahahahaha ~

of course! what would really be keen would be a whole slew of littles in a "special edition" slip case.

with ribbon bookmarks?

and marbled endpapers!

i think it's all covered with dog hair by now.
