[immediately after he gives a formal introduction]Hi, Jack! Sorry. Sorry. Jesus. I'm bad at not thinking loudly.
[after the rest, and long enough to read it] Actually I think this is a really, really great idea, both from the standpoint of someone who'd like to contribute, what I can, and also, sort of -- academically? If that makes sense? The structure itself of separate, similar but individual creations is so excellent for the theme of a shared reality that was only kept together by all of us believing it -- annnd, I'm going to stop Lit Major-ing at you. Just take my word for it that somehow this ramble would turn into a thing about storytelling and creating histories.
It sounds like the way you journal (is that a fair word? recount?) is similar to what I do with lyrics. My perception and my memory, especially, can ...also be unreliable. Writing helps. It's been hard to have things I remember, so many things, and even have other people remember them, and have to categorize them as not real?
And it's...The part of it where we all forgot things. It's important to me not to lose the memories of that place now that we're back here. I think choosing not to forget is meaningful.
Besides, maybe there's more to find out about that reality that we won't even know until we start reading multiple of our stories.
Anyway this is a lot to think at you. Just -- this is a very cool idea.
