It's a kiddies film that has already worked its damage on me. I'm just so curious to watch it again. Tough choices indeed.<br /><br />But yes, a 10 year old Dawn DID pour herself into it, and she is still to this day :D<br /><br />@Tony - I cherish every manuscript I write, apart from the two short stories mentioned - god knows what happened to them - but you can trace my growing style throughout. It's quite humorous to look back on them...DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-13849447209970869292011-06-08T10:02:08.022-07:002011-06-08T10:02:08.022-07:00So cool that you still have that!

Y...Great post, I love the pages and illustrations! You can really tell that 10 year old Dawn was pouring herself into that writing.<br /><br />I don't know if you should re-watch the movie after all this time. I think it could be really sad if it turned out to be... well, terrible. I've sullied lots of fond memories by trying to relive them (I used to love MacGuyver, it DOES NOT hold up as an adult!), but it could be a hidden classic, like something from Roald Dahl. You never know.<br /><br />Tough choices!Ken Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113460297980380216noreply@blogger.com
