Weaving stories

(Jen here) This is another thought. I think we attempt to weave each others' voices/stories loosly together by putting voice overs of one character's post over another's real life. Does that make sense? So if each character writes three scenes, maybe at some point we see them typing and we hear their voice as voice over saying what they're typing:

Ex. The end of Jen's first scene. She's sitting at computer typing. . .and we hear her voice saying. . .

"If you haven't tried melon wrapped in prosciutto, then you haven't lived. . ."

Then we cut to the opening of PeterLake's first scene and he's awkwardly attempting to wrap a piece of prosciutto around a piece of melon, as though he's never done it before, and the voice over from Jen ends while he does so. It will be a nice blending from scene to scene and illustrate how we are weaving our ways into each other's lives.

These transitions could be written at the end. We look everyone's three scenes, lay them out in a strategic order, then write posts and tiny scene directions to overlap them a bit. Nothing plot-changing, just snipits.

Yes? No?
