I've been working on something new for the beginning 'For the Dying Sun'. I don't entirely know how this is working and I know there are some parts that need clarity and the flow is a bit off..I see the direction changing some, and the story gaining some length, dialogue, character interaction..I am in all of it right now, but the beginning seems to be important here..so, here it is.
They often birth on quiet, magical pools of the Orient Sea, a giant bulge of low barometric pressure bursting with a mad and furious freshness of life, then jet easterly on the torrent of a swift atmospheric stream, meeting the far-away frontier-land full of mystery, before moving over the the young and mystic Rocky Mountains, dipping South through farms and prairies and big wood barns, finding a basin of nourishment in the gorgeous and blue Gulf of Mexico, then climb the dangerous banks of Carolina, forming heavy freights of snow, barrelling across the busy sounds of the East, finally arriving for morning in the midst of our seasonal war of survival in New England. In this town, the winters are long and indecent. You don't mind the cold, you say? Maybe even find joy in the snow and holiday and all that happy stuff? Not here. Here, the cold is king.

I'll admit I like the last couple lines better from before. This has too much claymation frosty from those christmas specials of a narrator tone to me, if that made sense at all...
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I can dig it.
This is interesting. I'm not sure what to say because it is only a small portion of something much larger and in progress. I'm beginning to see your distinct voice in everything you write and I think that is very important. I haven't known you long but already I can see and feel your style. You have a certain way of expressing that is very "Will" if that makes sense and I like it. Keep at it. And keep writing in Austen.
ReplyDeleteyeah, mike. I agree. Ha. That makes sense. I do like the narrator's voice from the previous post and will try to expound on that.
