Subject: What a surprise :)

This is nice. Thanks for the link, Trudy.

I was going to email Grumps about the Paco thing, but I've put it off because I've been thinking really hard about how to deal with the section matter.

What it pretty much comes down to is that I'll need a calm in the eye of the storm pov. Grumps (and I'm talkin at you too, Floyd) can write it better than I can. I'll have to produce the other sections first so that he has a road map, knows the plots and subplots that are apparent to ol' One Eye.

This concept that I've been putting together is wild. But more importantly, I want to do it right. Structure friendly in proportion and flow to publishers, meaning One Eye will need about 9 sections, all said and done. There is actually a standard formula for pov shift and I'm actually going to adhere to it.

The plot is pretty wild, and no way can I cram it all into this post without typing for twenty minutes. Right now, I'm taking about 94 section sheets and mapping the ebb and flow of the story. When I have that done, I'll have a solid proposal to throw to ya'll. Most likely will be about 3-5 weeks for completion of this part.

What I really like about Grumpy's take on One Eye is the sanity that he brings to it. Gives him a wisdom and experience that I can't match outside of being so subtle that he wouldn't say much, at all.

Even if we do clash on the MOC :)

And the main adversary, Dick Davos, is a model of Cheney.

Man, yer gonna love this. I hope.
