I have a mental image of Djimon Hounsu(I know that's not the right spelling) or maybe Terrence Howard. But I can't tell from the collage. I will say, I loved that guy! He just got the job done, baby.

I'm not hinting at anything. I'm down to looking at the finalists in different fonts, trying to figure out what I want. And then of course Bob will turn up in two weeks and say, "Not that one."

Junk food is instant gratification. Poor Bob. I don't envy the long drive from East coast to West coast. And all that packing and unpacking. I hope he had a huge yard sale before he left SC.

Bob hit the road without answering my e-mail--now you know what I put up with--so I'm cogitating without him. Give me some time here, I have to figure out what has the most scope for the story.

He could pull off that dumb Southern look and attitude to fool people yet underneath a razor sharp mind. And pull off the Col. Sanders white suit too. A crazy Glenn Close is just scary.

It's either Lauren Graham or Marisa Tomei, depending on which brunette you're looking at. Also, it took me months to get this. If you look back at that link that El posted, the early stages are much less hectic. I kept adding to it as I wrote, so there are layers on there. Joey is an actor from the old Rockford Files whose name I have now forgotten, but somebody on here will know it. Taylor is Bobby Flay. Of course. Bob didn't have anything to do with Taylor, but he did create Casey and Abigail; they were his entirely. The only POVs in this were Agnes and Shane, so POV doesn't really tell you who wrote what beyond them. Basically, I wrote Agnes's world and he wrote Shane's. That's Anthony Hopkins up there as Wilson. That's not actually how I saw him physically--my Wilson was taller and thin, dessicated--but that picture seemed to nail the personality. Especially when I put it in iPhoto and made it blue. Oh and the other actresses for Brenda were Glenn Close and Nicole Kidman. Again, it's the vibe, not the likeness. Shane doesn't look like George to me, either. Nope, Chandra isn’t in there. It’s either Lauren Graham or Marisa Tomei, depending on which brunette you’re looking at.

And Taylor? Who's the placeholder for him? And did Bob have anything to do with writing him or the other Agnes guys, or were they all yours? I know they never had any POV scenes, so I'm guessing not Bob's. Who’s Joey? And Taylor? Who’s the placeholder for him?

I just took a look at my poor example of a collage and sighed, I'm gonna have to get more creative. And now that I've read Agnes, and loved it, I can see the story in the collage. That bottom left photo of George, I think it's that stance, is definitely how I imagined Shane. Maybe not so much of the pretty boy that he is, but that "I'm in command" attitude he can do so well. And I love the photo of Agnes sitting on the grass in the red blouse. Oh my goodness, this is lovely.
