Well done - this is an excellent way of 'seeing' if the concept is
at least plausible.

Given the right objects, I think it is sufficiently coherent to
enable the writer to create a very "interesting VR experience."
This comes back to an earlier point, when I suggested the user
provide 'scripts' of what they want to develop within their world.
While it is not altogether necessary, or perhaps desirable, it will
allow us to 'see' what the user of such a system expects?
Without turning vlists into a writers group, it would probably be
a worthwhile exercise to encourage more automatic writing, so we
can continue to see how we could encapsulate the writer's thoughts
within VR?

I think it was good exercise to allow us to develop our own
imagery anyway...
There are some points within your writing that may be quite
difficult to represent, for example it is easy, (I use the term
loosely) to portray a bloated mother, but how do you imply that
the cause is grandeur?
