Have any of you ever tried doing the "letter writing" approach? CS Lewis did it with the Screwtape Letters. I tried it once and gave up after the first chapter. It has to be the single most impossible form of literary writing out there, because you have to literally create a story through the one sided first person narrative format of a letter. You can create multiple sided stories using multiple letters, but Lewis did it with a single person, IE Screwtape, and thus upped the impossibility factor by miles.
