Letterman,

i'm wondering if i should
have written the letter without giving the appearance
that there might be a tie in to future events? or if
it's ok as written?...

That letter didn't give the appearance that there
might be a tie in to future events. However, you had
mentioned something about la policia in one of your
previous posts around the time you returned. You even had
a link to the news story. To me that was sort of a preview
to this movie I'm watching inside my head as I read your
stuff. I don't think Kidd or anyone else outside of this
cyber tavern will see this as anything more than just a
letter but then later on they will see it is much more.

What I think is pretty cool is how this can translate into
a book with the way it is being weaved by you. Especially
if there is a way where it eventually is revealed to the
reader to where and to whom these letters are being sent.
(Via an address or something inconspicuous like that.)

I have the benefit of knowing this already. Knowing you
the way I do I can tell there will be some pretty good life
messages coming from this story. Especially since it was
one of those milestone, life quests, thingies that you
experienced.

At times I find myself reading it through Kidd's eyes.

Take your time with this stuff. I'm not rushing you.
Instead I'm just showing you my excitement to get to the
next chapter.

I really think you should take as much time as you can to
write this. You might have a best-seller on your hands
here. (Even if you don't sell a single copy.)

You have yourself an original idea with and interesting
plot that will enrich the reader with much more than just a
story. Perhaps it can help others see a different way of
thinking. Sort of the way Lurqer's motorcycle book did for
me. Sort of the way many of your "letters" to us do
already.

Anyway, I just wanted to clarify what I meant.
