Dearest Vincent,

Aren’t the coincidences of life astounding? Last night I was struck with some inspiration regarding my Bandersnatch character, so I spent a couple hours puttering about on Wikipedia, re-reading the poem that started it all… And then, this morning, what has Poem-A-Day sent me? Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”. Funny old world, isn’t it?

Welp, gotta run to work. Perhaps later, I’ll tell you the abridged version of the Bander—-I think you’ll like her. ^_^b

Vincent!

I had an idea for The Wall—SEVERAL ideas, actually! What do you think about pulling an Italo Calvino and using the genre of detective fiction for Troy? He IS sort of situated LIKE the hard-boiled private-eye; ties to the world of law enforcement, yet also elements of the criminal (his illegal book collection, for instance, and the fact that later on, he makes some choices which are very obviously him taking the law into his own hands). He has a strong sense of morality, too—I keep thinking about this, so maybe it’s a good idea! I’ll play with the earlier posts, see what I can make of it.

Also: inspiration struck me as to Benny’s role in the plot, toward the end. I have two choices… can’t tell you what they are but they will affect the entire outcome of the final “boss battle”, heh.

And now: shower, work, desperately try to get assignments done before tomorrow. Oh! And I am out of cash. Hopefully the cat can last another day without clean litter. >_>;;
