My Dad has helped me move a number of times. One time he was insistent that my box spring couldn't possibly make it down the stairs and OUT of the apartment. Out! Obviously it had gone up the stairs when I moved IN! He was adamant that it was geometrically impossible. I had to wait for him to take a break and then wrestle it down myself with the help of a girlfriend. That's hilarious!! Is he a scientist?

Where do you think I get it from?

it's a christian novel, so I'm thinking instead of having him die, he simply "vanishes" with a note for the main character, so she knows he isn't coming back. I still have to deal with her grief, but at least I don't have to deal with her finding his body...that might make it easier but I don't know if it would feel as real??? and thank you for not thinking i'm crazy

Scribbliz: I was thinking about your "seeing two worlds" and it occurred to me that this might be a form of method acting. You are immersing yourself in this world so that you can write about it more effectively. Just an idea.

it's possible; I tend to dwell on the world of my stories. I have never seen two worlds deliberately, but I do focus on the worlds a lot.

You are immersing yourself in this world so that you can write about it more effectively. Just an idea. it's possible; I tend to dwell on the world of my stories. I have never seen two worlds deliberately, but I do focus on the worlds a lot. I do this as a form of role-play. It's called Psychodrama, it is not recommended for anyone who already has any issues with reality or who suffers from depression, and ESPECIALLY NOT recommended for anyone who has a serious mental illness, paranoia, or suicidal tendencies... in short, 85% of the gaming community.
It is seriously fun, and huge part of the inspiration for my urban fantasy settings. I've been trying to find people to participate in a psychodrama based on lovecraft called 'de profundis'. A friend of mine bought a copy of this rpg, and so did I, but we never got around to playing it. It's a letter writing game that you can play from both modern day and 1920's settings. The fun thing about psychodrama is that you really can play by yourself, with any inspiration or setting--just by taking a walk and imagining that you're being followed or writing a fictional journal or just about anything you want. I'd really like to see how it works in a group though.

Again -- I resemble that remark lolololol The fun thing about psychodrama is that you really can play by yourself, with any inspiration or setting--just by taking a walk and imagining that you're being followed or writing a fictional journal or just about anything you want. I'd really like to see how it works in a group though. This describes about 90% of my childhood, haha. It works great in a group if you can get them on board...

Papergrace: this sounds really interesting! I have never heard of a type of role play that can be done solo.
The comment about the sanity of the gaming community made me laugh ;D
