More notes...

I'm really sorry that my blog is severely lacking in visual stimulation. It will get there eventually! I've had some more thoughts on the change of direction that my story has had. I was having an issue with the idea of one creature wanting to eat Emily. The whole story almost fell down to vegetarianism, and I want Emily to be smarter than that. Therefore, when she meets the creatures, they're going to argue about the different ways they can use her. One will want to keep her as a pet, another will want to eat her, another will want to use her skin to make shoes (grim, I don't know how I'm going to say that in a pleasant way) etc. I think this way they can squabble in front of Emily before she argues that she doesn't WANT to be their pet, their shoes, their dinner etc. This new approach will require an entirely new script, since the ending can't be the same. I think this story works better though, and conveys the message in an imaginative way rather than like a list of rules and ethics. I just had to write it down so that I'd remember.
