... I think my mailbox is defective ...

I'm working heavily at expanding "1 is True . . ." these days. In appropriate juxtaposition, Lisa, Brigid, and I are also working on a jigsaw puzzle in the evenings. The two are more alike than I want to admit. I've spent a good deal of time just thinking about this one, and I have an image in mind about how I want it to look when it's done. But I've torn the thing apart, and now part of the challenge is to look at what's there and determine where it's supposed to go now. Where the analogy diverges is that after this part is done, I then turn to creating the new pieces. I think the piece will end up being over half new material--which makes this first step particularly painful, and requires a lot of meticulous thought. As of today, I've pared everything that doesn't belong anymore. Now I just have to arrange. Listen to me. ... just. But this is the fun part, you know? This is where I really get into the characters and understand why they do what they do. The only thing that would make it better is if I had an actual deadline to work under.   Have a great day.
