I&#8217;m sorry for what must feel like neglect and abandonment at times, but I assure you, you&#8217;ve always been on my mind. In my mind we&#8217;ve had such high adventures, over and over, to get the details right, to find the right words, the right setting. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting my feet under me, though, and there is traction and a line in the sand. We&#8217;re all going to LA in August. It&#8217;ll be fun, it&#8217;ll be scary, and it&#8217;ll be a new adventure to write and draw about (I love how you&#8217;re all coming to life in sketch work. It really is a joy and moves me forward.). We&#8217;re going to meet so many neat people and I just know that many of them will love you as much as I do!<\/p>\n<p>Be patient and keep talking to me, telling me what&#8217;s happening. I promise I&#8217;ll write it all down.<\/p>\n<p>Love,<br \/>\nSue<\/p>\n<p>Dear MC,<\/p>\n<p>You can do this. I&#8217;m sorry it&#8217;s hard and I&#8217;m sorry that it has to be hard. You&#8217;ll have really good friends, though and you&#8217;ll learn so much and be a really great person for it all. Having so many depend on you is very daunting and you are so very young. But I&#8217;m right here. I won&#8217;t let you fall.<\/p>\n<p>Your storyteller,<br \/>\nSue<\/p>\n<p>Dear supporting cast (thus far),<\/p>\n<p>Getting you all assembled has been so much fun! You didn&#8217;t ask to be a part of the journey, but I&#8217;m so glad you&#8217;ve all decided to come along! There is a fourth. I&#8217;m not sure where she&#8217;s coming from and she may be a tough pill to swallow, but you do need her. Try to make her feel welcome, but don&#8217;t let her walk all over you. If you give her a nose, she&#8217;ll take a furlong. Keep it together for MC and bear in mind that she&#8217;s still a child, a strong child, but a child nonetheless. <\/p>\n<p>Love and sugar cubes,<br \/>\nSue<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear cast, I&#8217;m so sorry that it&#8217;s been so long since I started your story and then set it down.
