I have thought now and then about whether I should have had the narrator re-appear throughout the story. I think it would make it more expedient, allowing more of the telling to happen in less space. But then I get to a page like this, which is almost all narrator and I remember the comic balance of show and tell.
I suspect some of it is also the continual action of translating what I’ve been doing for years telling this story and now putting in down in lines and shapes. When I tell the story, I don’t have to deal with the Baron’s daughter or the doctor’s in any concrete way. The witch yes, because she has dialogue and I take on her stoop and voice to deliver them. I quite like the silent word balloon for the baby, it was actually a late addition.
I’d suspect you can figure out what happens next, although I do hope there’s at least one more turn before the end. We’ll see next week.
