And I noticed the sentence and fixed it in the word file, but since my internet connection decided to take the night off, I haven't changed the post yet. That sort of thing happens when I type stories out quickly. And since I usually have my computer shutting down several times while writing - and sometimes have to start all over - it isn't always easy to spot anomalies like those. Kind of embarrassing.<br /><br />I'll go and fix it now, thanks for pointing it out (I'm pretty sure I would've forgotten all about it)!Stories Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17914335670413469201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899570529606400529.post-27234226783056012242011-05-04T07:05:18.954-07:002011-05-04T07:05:18.954-07:00I'm with Drachma on the style change, it's...I'm with Drachma on the style change, it's well executed. I'm curious to see how the style will alter once again when you get to dealing with the Svart. <br /><br />My only concern was this sentence: "Both of them had had a similar experience in the best where they elves waiting something from them grew a little impatient with human speed..."<br /><br />Seems a couple of words may have been mistyped or accidentally rearranged somehow. I still got the gist of what was being said but it took a couple read-throughs :)<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899570529606400529.post-75847659601908828862011-05-04T01:23:51.383-07:002011-05-04T01:23:51.383-07:00Hey Drachma,

Good to know you’re interested, now I’m kind of afraid to disappoint... :)<br /><br />I’m really trying to get the separate styles thing under control. It was one of the main reasons or picking up again with writing short stories this year, because each has a different setting, a different context and different players, which requires style variation between them.<br /> <br />The long term goal would be to use style variation appropriately in a novel, because before I was being very clumsy and unsystematic in that, not sure where/with whom to use which style and how to work it out. <br /><br />I’m really trying to make an effort here. Especially since while going for my master’s degree in western literature, I had to read texts by Auerbach and Curtius and if I’m not mistaken the former attributed Dante’s greatness (talk about ambition on my part, ey) to an ingenious mixture of styles where appropriate while before styles had been fixed with the genre used.<br /><br />That idea has always very much intrigued me, but it seemed very much over my head. I really hope I can push through and finish Svart, rather than break off somewhere midway because I’m not ready yet (again).Stories Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17914335670413469201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899570529606400529.post-57702948440037023942011-05-03T19:10:24.433-07:002011-05-03T19:10:24.433-07:00OK, now you've got my attention.

You've done a good job of wring separate styles for the different 'locations.'<br />I'm eagerly awaiting more.The Book of Drachmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402293433544594442noreply@blogger.com
