Paradox (Chapter 18)

[Zelandonia]

I suppose that the meaning that I had was lost within the process of writing my previous post. I shall have to endevour to make clear and obvious my point within this post.

Sorry, but that's what I mean. For example; You are taking a concept that would have been one sentence, but you are making it last a paragraph or so.

Dickens was payed per-word. He made more money the more the wrote, and as a result his works are much longer than they need to be. It feels to me as if that's what you are doing also, Bul.

Ahh, I see what you mean. I shall keep this in mind while writing the second part. You know, though, what I attempt to portray is the character's emotions extremely accurately. I wish to make every detail clear, so that there can be no doubt in the reader's mind that the events occurred EXACTLY as written. I don't know if it's a good or bad writing trait, though...

It can be good, it can be bad.

Me personally, I like to let the reader make up the details and things themselves. Not because I'm lazy and I don't want to write it, but because I personally perfer if (when I'm reading something) I can picture details and things on my own.

There are many though, who dislike thinking of details or whatever on their own, and would prefer the author described it in perfect detail, y'know?

It all depends on the reader.

You know, though, if you have noticed, I have yet to describe any of the characters... you don't even have any idea of their age or anything. So I'm kind of doing both... With the events, I'm describing them very in-depth, while for the characters, I leave them to the imagination of the reader. However, I DO describe them a little in later chapters... Though everything is still open to interpretation, much more so than in other books.

Which is bad,
I want to know what my characters know like IMMEDIATELY because after someone has their own image of something in a book, especially a character, it is near impossible to change it.

Actually, I barely describe them. For example, the only thing I note about Jericho in a later chapter is the fact that he's 17, skinny, and has disheveled black hair. So really, you still have a hugely wide choice in terms of how to imagine the character... However, with a character that shall be introduced in the next chapter, I describe her immediately.

 

[Bulerias]

Chapters 3 and 4 are up. Hope ya like the new character introduced in the third chapter... She's my favorite character in the whole story. You'll see why later. D:

 

[Grawr]

Uhh...wow. Things are moving along really quickly for Alejandra and Jericho, there...

Athos = my favorite character.

Keep it up, Bul! Are you planning on getting this published or something?

 

[Zelandonia]

I'm sorry Bul. This is just my opinion, but:

I don't like it. At all.
It feels to me like you took every clich

 

[Fabioisonfire]

Yeah, what is this, rated X?

 

[Zelandonia]

Yeah, what is this, rated X?

Well, I don't disagree with having a love interest. And he actually wrote that scene pretty well, I just think he wrote it too fast. They just met that day, right?

Ha, I was being silleh. More like PG rated.

 

[Gabby]

LOVE IT.

[Grawr]

C'mon, post the next chapter. I wanna' see what happens next.

 

[Bulerias]

Uhm... Okay.

 

[Bulerias]

How do you guys like THAT for killing cliches?

 

[Tyler]
