To His Grave (Prologue)

[koslorollo]

I like it! Woo!

Definitely honest and thought provoking without being too ponderous. Good balance!

Plus, you get bonus points for giving the often sissy-ish name ELI to a total badass!

Have you written any more of this yet, aside from this and chapter 1? I really hope so. Writing is so hard sometimes, especially when you have the whole design for the book, but can't seem to finish it, or get interested in writing the tale you can tell... So I really do want it go "just as easy" for you!

I'm going to use the nifty "Track This" feature, to keep up to date on any new entries for this you may post; I don't want to miss one! :D

Yaaay! ^_^ I'm glad someone does.

Oh good, I was worried about that. I very rarely write from just one POV so it always seems strange when I do.

Haha, I had never thought of Eli as a sissy name but I guess your right. Well I'm glad to have changed that ^_^ Took me forever to decide on the names.

I started chapter 2 but have been busy and haven't been able to concentrate on it as much as I would like. Chapter 2 is the chapter where Tommy actually takes the stage.

Is that what that does? I never knew what that did!

Thanks so much for letting me know that you like it ^_^

Took me forever to decide on the names.

Oh yeah, I hate that! Mostly because sometimes a character will just have a name, instantaneously, and I don't have to work for it. And other times, it's at the tip of my tongue but needs to be coaxed out by browsing. ("Gosh, I know it starts with a "Kuh" sound..." or whatever.) And then others just drag their feet and hide their names in the sand. We have to dig for them. For hours. Sometimes DAYS. *rolls eyes* If only we could make our characters a little more obedient!

Tommy takes the stage! You set him up so well in the prologue that I feel like I know what how he'll be.

I'm a huge proprietor of Track This. LJ should pay me for telling everyone I know how wonderful it is! It's LJ's best feature, IMHO! :D

Hope the writing's going well!

Well I knew Tommy right off, although I had trouble deciding if it would be Thomas on his grave or not, but then I decided not. Last names actually took more time than first names.

Yup, the whole chapter will revolve around him and lead up to one of the climax points in chapter 3. Am I describing them enough to give a good visual? I can see them clear as day but that doesn't mean others can.

Huh, I had always wondered what that did but never tried it out.

It is. My online bro is reading over chapter 1 now and it should be up soon.
