Narians who talked, others dumb - but with distinction, explanation and consistancy that tracked all through the Chronicles.yarnbuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921402407501478880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275104442398599121.post-30497985922956689462009-08-25T09:23:32.273-05:002009-08-25T09:23:32.273-05:00Timothy, this is an excellent post.

I often feel a huge amount of pressure to get everything exactly right in my work, especially since I don't write made-up fantastical worlds where I make the rules. I write in the real world, so all the real world facts should be correct in accordance to reality. Sometimes we as writers need to bend things to our story. I always try to remember that it's FICTION and that my readers should be suspending their disbelief right from the very first sentence.<br /><br />Unfortunately, there are many writers acting as readers who are much too critical of such things. It's a fine balance, I think, in deciding what works and what doesn't. Because the explosions in space thing - well, it just works.Michelle D.
