Awesome! That’s exactly the effect I was going for! Again, thank you. Hurray for doing my homework! Still, this tone needs a lot of work from my part still. On top of which, I still have to work on my plots, to make sure they’re page turners. Or that I can put one together at all, for that matter.

No, this was a real life experience.

Really? Without intent to criticize, I found myself thinking that parts of the conversation rung ‘fiction’. Like:

“These,” he said, “are your defenders. They are you.”

Sounds like something I’d expect to hear in a novel about self discovery and courage.

(By the way, now you have me thinking about posting some short stories I’ve been working on here. Hmm…)

That’s a great idea! Might even consider doing that myself.

However, I'm starting to work on some of my writing to gear it more towards novels (hence the writing style). I've started to write a book and while I seem to be doing OK building and creating characters, descriptions sometimes don't show what they should. Thanks for the complement, though. Asking "Is this a part of a story?" makes me feel all novelistic and stuff. (By the way, now you have me thinking about posting some short stories I've been working on here. Hmm...)

Is this a part of a story? Love this:

“Now draw a monster”

It’s a totally poetic sentence that works really well at the beginning to make you interested in knowing what’s going on.

Is this a part of a story?
