These 26 pages are an example of Jim taking a run at the idea and seeing where it gets us. Unfortunately, this is a dead end.

Jim liked to “Rip” on an idea and just run wild with it. Write from sheet inspiration and fun. That’s one reason Jim was such a successful writer. He loved to write. Love to play with words, create characters, link dialogue lines together like poetry. He was willing to take changes and fail. It really didn’t bother either of us to try something and come up empty handed. As we got further along in our career and the pressures became greater, we didn’t have the luxury we did at this time to be playful with our writing.
