Or did you all read Theresa's comment and roll from there? :D Or does the character come across as a she?<br />---<br />Heya Eryl! Sylvia Plath has been on a lot of blogger's lips lately. Ok, to be precise three other friendly bloggers mentioned reading her over the last two weeks. I've been exploring her works... and I see what you mean. Huh, that's not a parallel I would ever have expected to hear. : j<br />-<br />Ola Sangu. Yeah it's refreshing to use the present tense after all that let-me-tell-you-my-tale/this-is-what-happened past tense stuff going on in under the gables. ; 7<br />-<br />Heya Talli. Surely you mean internal monologue? Not being able to stop reading is high on the list of best compliments you can give somebody who wrote something! Thanks. : jAvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518126816849670319.post-31641507785336281022010-05-13T20:09:50.401+02:002010-05-13T20:09:50.401+02:00So intense!

I joined the party a bit late though. <br /><br />Good point, I played with it both ways as I wrote it... In the end I intentionally avoided mentioning physical pain... Whatever the narrator is, I don't think it has body that either bleeds, feels pain, or indeed breathes. The impression of suffocation was entirely psychosomatic. I suppose pain in the hands could be as well... But I don't like the idea as much. ; j<br />---<br />@Annie: Well let's see... Creamtion versus burial.. Hmm. The character wakes up in a rotted zombie body, claws its way up to surface and finds a cemetery. Not sure that's much better. Or the surface has been completely nuked, nothing there but a radioactive desert. To give it that cold war kinda feel. : j<br />--- <br />Salut Vagabonde! Je ne m'attendais pas à te voir ici! J’ai la double nationalité Japonaise/Française : un parent de chaque pays. J’avais commencé par faire une VF de ce blog, mais j’ai laissé tomber puisque je n’avais pas de visiteurs. Je suis traducteur de métier et j’ai ma dose de trad pendant la journée, je ne ressentais pas le besoin d’en rajouter dans mon temps libre, surtout au vu de l’absence totale de lecteurs francophones. : j<br />Ouaouh ! Quel courage de lire tout ça, j'admire ton dévouement! : j <br />Désolé pour la mauvaise surprise,; j tu es tombée pile poil au mauvais moment : ces derniers temps, j’écris dans le style d’un auteur d’horreur fantastique décédé dont je préfère garder le nom secret pour voir si quelqu’un devine. Mais avant cela, j'écrivais surtout dans mon propre style qui est léger et gai. <br />---<br />@Kass: Next? I think that's it. That's all she wrote and all that. : jAvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518126816849670319.post-57686999960302402382010-05-13T01:49:04.278+02:002010-05-13T01:49:04.278+02:00What next?

Merci de ta visite sur mon blog. Est-ce que tu es française ou canadienne? Ton français est meilleur que le mien – bien sûr je ne le parle jamais car je ne connais aucun français ici, mais ton blog est en anglais... J’essaie de lire tous les posts de mes amis bloggeurs, ils m’en restent encore 354 à lire – quand je suis revenue j’en avais 895! Je reviendrai lire ton blog quand je peux le faire plus posément. J’ai lu ton dernier post qui pourrait bien me donner de mauvais rêves!
