Can't WAIT to Get Into the Youngling Stories!

While I'm thoroughly loving the dickens out of writing Mamm of Dunnottar I'm also very much looking forward to delving into the imaginations of the Younglings of Dunnottar to see what's all going to happen as they people their playtime with Characters from the myths and legends they learn about in their education!

The shorter Stories will be a wonderful change from the trauma and drama of my current project - theirs are purely imaginary and nobody dies (they can't, you see, because the mythical and legendary personas they assume for their play 1) aren't prone to death in the first place; and 2) will no doubt be impersonated again in later playing so of course they can't DIE.

*laughing*

I can just see it and hear it:

Rua:  I want to be Boudicca
Dothann:  You can't be Boudicca! You were her last time and we killed her! She doesn't come back to life, you know!

And so it goes. Granted, Boudicca isn't the best choice for an example as she was a real live person and she did actually die - but you get the point of how some of the Younglings' minds work. If someone dies, they can't come back into the play. Sez Dothann.  

Then he adds:
But you could maybe be her Voice if you want. But you have to climb up in that tree and not really play with us.

He knows about Voices, yes he does!

But enough for now.

I need to be doing what I need to do today and in the days to come if I'm ever going to be able to actually sit down and write the Stories of the Younglings of Dunnottar! 

First things first and all that.
