The stories about Paul Bunyan have always kinda bugged me. He's huge, and he's got a huge ox as a companion. But how did he get that big? When did that happen? A recent school project challenged me to figure it out.
I've discovered that Paul wasn't always a huge lumberjack. In fact, he was a pretty puny dude for a long time. The other 'jacks in the company wouldn't let him forget it either. So Paul sets out on a trek through the woods to find a hermit who brews his own strength elixir. Along the way he learns the true meaning of strength.
Alright, I'm still working on the pitch. But the story's all there. You'll see.
As I've been working on this project, I've grown more and more attached to it, and have decided to try and finish it. I'm hoping to have it finished by October. These are some very early studies for the upcoming self published book.
