It is one thing to know the nuances of the English language, another thing to create moving images using it flawlessly. It is something else again to raise narrative to art.
Lines such as "And then bones hidden behind a stone mask." taken in context are electrifyingly beautiful.

Thank you, my friend. I only hope I can live up to your praise. :) The next chapter will be out on the 1st, hopefully, so we'll see how I do.
I know S.G. I know you do not intend to leave it at that! There is no way you are going to give me this much and then decide you want to quit.
And this is in no way a threat but if you do not add to The Beginning, I will hut you down- and don't you think I won't.
But if you do not react to pressure then this is me saying, pretty pretty please with cherries on top.
Haha, no it's not the end. I'm working on the first chapter. It's one of those books quite literally raised from the dead, so I'm a little rusty. I'll have it out hopefully by the 1st. Between school, my current WIP, and this, I'm swamped.
so far, interesting, and i love the cover art. we'll see what it's like once it gets further along.
That was intense! I liked it a lot. There were a few grammar mistakes, but those are easily fixed. I'm curious to see what story goes along with this. Good job!
:)
Hopefully I have the first chapter up by the end of the week, and then I'll try to get one up each month. I'm praying I can keep it going... Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Kate. :) The first chapter should be up later tonight. I've just discovered, looking back, that everything I write is a little dark.... O.o Thanks for the comment!
Gosh! Was it teenage angst?!
I'm being facile really... You have a very good, if somewhat dark and wordy, imagination and this could be the beginning of a worthwhile addition to the vampire/horror type book that is all the rage at the moment.
I would be very interested to see where you take it. Keep on writing.
Kate [aka Susan H Trought]
