Attention: Your Wisdom Is Needed Here
and you know, i was going to write for a few hours. screw it. my books are waiting.. much to read.
but i do want to write a story. tricky. i want it to relate to a chess board/pieces in some way, but not really to the game itself (part of the point is to be that the game is incomprehensible to the pieces, possibly even to the players). i want no more than three characters, two is better. i will probably write it in first person. the pieces i am chiefly concerned with are pawn, knight, and queen (possibly rook). it should of course form into a short allegory. if this begins to exceed thirty pages, i will abandon it (unless it becomes my child and is a very very good child.. then i might just have to keep it); i do *not* want a long piece.
so for all you wonderful friends who love me so much (and can't, i hope, resist shameless comment-whoring) is the question: can it be done (meaning: can i do it?) and more important (because in all my egotism i am certain that i can do it; i just don't belive my ego when he says so) more important, do you have any suggestions, any ideas jump out that you don't mind putting on loan, any changes to what i see it as (number of characters, point of view; preferably including reason for suggestion..) thank you eternally for even reading this far, and moreso if you offer any assistance at all. namaste.
