Great yarn

As a writer I appreciate the concept of a character taking on a life of its own--but what if they really did? Imagination and memory do often intersect with fun, creative results--in life as well as literature. Writing's a bit heavy on the adjectives (I think anyone would notice, not just writers), otherwise a lot of fun and a lot of depth (maybe). Great story but the framing of it as biography is a stretch and distracting.
