The Wordsmith's Forge

Oh, I meant better = recovered from my mystery disease. (Even typing this is excruciating to navigate). But yes, smaller to larger. The other thing I had (when I was well and able) was listening to an author on repeat and gaining the style that way. With Otter he seems to be pretty straight forward, just getting along, so it would all be prior to Moley entering into the picture, of course, with hints that he might be more sociable later on toward the end. Then mapping out some of the "old memories" that were mentioned in the original but never got explained. ^_^ Figuring out how he had Portly whose mother we never hear about or meet in the original will be the awkward component I am sure.
