IDEA.

How cool would it be to write a novel about a Narnian sort of world through the means of a character telling bedtime stories to a child?

Right now I am sort of working on something to that effect, just a short story or a sketch right now but I just thought of that. Sort of a cross between Narnia and Where the Wild Things Are.

I might post what I am working on later. We'll see where it goes.

THE CHILD WHO WEARS MY OSCAR THE GROUCH SHIRT.

I love how people, when they're trying to insult somebody, say the person is a child trapped in an adult's personality. In many cases I would take that as a compliment. Think about it. Adults lie about murder and sex and corruption and politics and scandals and the list goes on. Kids lie about things like feeding their food to dogs or their homework or whether or not their beds are made. On the sin scale kids carry much less weight.

Not only that but let's be honest, I am a child, with a teenagers body trapped in a child's mind rather than the other way around. That would be the only way to explain the fact that I am sitting at my computer on a Saturday evening with aviators on, writing a fairytale, drinking a pepsi through a striped turquoise and white straw, while listening to Schroeder rock out on the Peanuts cartoon theme that I downloaded. As a personality I often bounce back and forth between Linus, Lucy, and Schroeder. Anyways, listening to the news is a lot less positive to me in terms of writing than this and I am, have been, and will always be a child and proud of it now. And if you don't believe me I can grab my membership out of my bag that says "Child at heart and in mind. Member since 1993."
