The "whole buffalo" is a very important metaphor to embrace. A lot of people (including myself at times) fall into the idea that the "perfect" telling of a tale is the harrowing or winnowing away of "lesser material" to result in the best cut "gem" of a tale. This approach allows for the continued pursuit of equally legitimate stories and characters that don't have to be discarded simply to allow for a final "product" that is crafted to fit within a predetermined format. Very good. Cheers. This great - thanks for posting it. The “whole buffalo” is a very important metaphor to embrace.
