Notice the heading of this story. It reflects the fact that we were now moving away from a record of a correspondence between two people and more towards a collection of stories swapped between two groups of people. Later you will notice that we drop the word “letter” altogether and just call them what they have become stories. In this volume, we also dropped the address at the top of each letter since by now we consider that the letters were being swapped via email rather than postal mail.
So this story is a major turning point in the Letters Project. Our original intention was to finish the story with Joseph and Lizamoa moving to New Zealand. The assumption is that they lived happily ever after. But as we told you in the last few backgrounds of Vol 4 we didn’t want to stop writing.
The plan we came up with was to begin this new series of stories by creating a few transition stories which act as a turning point for the letters as Joseph moves to New Zealand with his family. The next two letters will also reflect this change before we settle into a new series and new themes. (See what Anne says about this next week.)
So welcome to a new volume and the new letters, which are now more stories than letters. I hope you continue to follow our blog and enjoy our stories.
