First of all, an administrative point - I finally noticed all our timestamps were wrong (you may be coherent enough to post before 8 am, but I'm certainly not) since our blog thought we were on the west coast. Silly. We are now in the present time.

My thoughts on witnesses? No objections. My thoughts on intervention? Not so favorable, but I have a hard time imagining what effect the occasional constructive or destructive criticism could have at this point. We're slow moving, but we're well on our way in the general direction we've chosen. And we're both just a tiny bit stubborn (dare I say prideful?), at least when it comes to our writing.

But there are so many metaphors to choose from... more hands lightening a load? That sounds nice, but not if it's a creative burden. I'm not interested in gaining participants right now, though I have no problem with an audience. I think we're really talking about pushing forward rather than lifting up, if there's a clear distinction. But how about too many cooks spoiling the dish? And why do I always decide to post when I'm hungry?

Seriously. I welcome anyone who can wade through this nonsense and find anything interesting to say about it.
