– The was a lack of ability to put it in a dramatic setting. So we were only ever really going to be able to fulfill half of the prompt.I don’t know, I thought it would have been dramatic. I was picturing the pencil as witness to one family’s life. Life can be full of drama. My own has been lately, with my Mom’s sudden brain hemorrhage and then just when it looked like she’d beat the odds, she passed away. Plus, I had suggested setting that family drama against a stretch of time where the world was particularly dramatic – Roaring 20s, Great Depression, WWII, etc.
