(It's a little like how novels often used to be published as serials, so people only got a chapter of the story at a time.) And in the meanwhile, your teaser shots are full of intrigue, and works of art in and of themselves.<br />It's a precarious line between plans and putting them into action - crossing the line always seems to bring a few surprises - but who know what discoveries you will come up with in the process! I hope things work out as you're intending them to - and can't wait to see what you come up with...
