i don't think many people know this but when i set out to write the story of six feet, it wasn't intended to be told in novel form. my original desire was to write a screenplay. however, as the story rolled around in my head and developed into a more than anticipated love story (if you will), i wondered how it could ever be done on screen. especially as i learned more and more about heath, i began to think, who in the world could fill those shoes? and if someone tried, poor them for trying. but as many days have passed and even more hours up at night mulling it over, i honestly believe it was meant to be on the screen-portrayed in a format where someone can see and hear and feel and hope their way through it as i did. granted, most people who enjoy reading have very vivid imaginations and characters can come alive (so to speak) in books. but i would love the opportunity to "show" people how i saw this story-how it came alive for me as i pained through every breath with Georgia, and hopefully one day soon i will be able to.
take care,
sandi
