I like your original method, Gud. I know I've used it. I used to go with the dashes, but they're visually very abrupt, and I think it interferes with the musing quality of the statement.

Because books.
You can always punctuate anything however you'd like. But a copy editor will change it.

So a film school grad has asked if they can make a short, non-commercial film of a story they spotted on Daily Science Fiction - I'm mostly game, because hey, kind of fun! Anyone want to run pros/cons with me? Or have a lead on a suitable creative commons contract that's nc/ with attribution?
Also, go Erin on the essay !
