Ha! The video is only like a half-hour long. Looking around online, as far as I can tell it hasn't (yet?) been released in the US's DVD format, but Amazon's UK store has it if you'd just like to look at the box. :) marta: I just about never dream about water. It's air for me. But yeah, I hadn't thought of the unsettling element before; now I do see it. Thanks! (Er, I think.) Jules: The “shack” line, and also “the last supper but one.” Ha!

The clip was clever, sweet, and slightly unsettling. Just watching that child over that vast amount of water... and since I dream about water like that all the time, it struck a chord.

Heh. That clip was really, really funny. Thank you. This post is a great reminder for me to try to snag Jeffers for an interview. I've always wanted to. LOST AND FOUND is one of my favorite books, and I'm glad you put that trailer up. I haven't seen it yet! “The Final Snack.” Heh. That clip was really, really funny. Thank you.

I would suggest you proceed in a critique group with caution. There is, unfortunately, a lot of really bad advice floating around out there. I'd like to invite you to check out my blog, where I write essays on different aspects of the craft of fiction (including plot and structure). I am also a freelance editor, struggling to keep my prices way, way down because I know about the shift from publishers' editors to acquisitors, and I do want to see good fiction get published. I love this work. best, Victoria Hi–
