Not that art theory is boring--I think it was just because I was reading Wolterstorff. Ironically, Wolterstorff doesn't think architecture is art. Good storytelling, and I don't mind the length on this one either. It flows better than the union dispute one because it has less explaining to do.

Bringing in Frank and Lloyd as muses just completes it. Tephlon–A great maker of physical things having the name “Wright” is already a pun, albeit one not subtle enough to be worthy of Eric Burns.

One of the things I like about these myths is that I can almost see an overarching plot forming in the background. Maybe that's the nature of mythologies. It does give me an interesting idea for NaNoWriMo. That was great.

Oh, but I did. Chris -- typically, I'll start with Wikipedia or pantheon.org, then follow reference links to get more depth (and things I more trust). I also have a number of reference books here at the office and at home, including a gorgeous copy of <em>The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology</em> and the old standby <em>Bulfinch's Mythology</em>. I also have any number of reference books on the evolution of the concept of things like Hell from the <em>In Nomine</em> pro writing days. Probably the single best Judeo-Christian reference I have, not counting the King James Version of the Bible, is Gustav Davidson's <em>A Dictionary of Angels</em>. Oh, but I did.

Apropos your notes, something I'd like to see is a list of the resources you use in writing each of these - nothing so strict as a bibliography or works cited; I'm just wondering where you get your information (on, say, Canaanite gods).
