Just can't leave these boys alone...
I've been playing with a short story about Evan and Jeff's early relationship. It's fun, and I still love the characters, but sooner or later, I'm going to have to stop writing about them, right? I mean, I'm already well over 500K words - it's just getting a little silly!
Maybe after I'm done this story...
Although I'd love to send Dan back to Rolex, and have him win on his own. My problem with that is that I don't know enough about the ins-and-outs of high level eventing to make it authentic. I was thinking of doing a Sports Illustrated style story, 'reporting' on the event - it'd be a chance to just hit the highlights without needing to wallow in my lack of knowledge, plus a chance to experiment with an outsider POV AND a whole different writing style.
So maybe TWO more stories before I leave the boys alone.
