Sometimes you could cut a few clauses out. Like "filling his perception," or "powerfully-built man." They're a little floppy, especially for a dream sequence. It might be good to be more immediate with the writing for that bit, if it's in a dream. The extra clauses and self-referential bit lack immediacy. Aside from that, I've read stuff like this. Considering what I'll read, that might not be an endorsement you want. But it's true. All the best.

Yeah, I watched this when you posted it. So, by attaching this as a reply to my vid, are you saying you've finished it? Because as of two months ago you said it was "still being written." If so, congratulations, you can now call yourself a novelist without being a total poseur. And now everyone can ask, "Oh cool! Where can I get it?"

First of all, you misquoted the line. I wouldn't read a book containing the line you quoted either. Second of all, many books have prologues and even if they didn't, this one does. Third of all, do you even know what the word archaic means? Fourth of all, fuck you.

I agree. First draft. Just giving people a taste.

No. I haven't finished it. When I do, you'll be among the first to know.

First of all, I'm not going to go back over that line to find exactly what it said, because it was painful in the first reading. But here, let's see..."colder than midnight on the third moon of Nessius Seven". Second of all, this prologue is standard and boring. And you're starting with a dream sequence. Which is the most horrible, cliche way to begin a novel. Go to any writing forum or ask. Search the blog of any agent.

Third of all, I know what archaic is. Do you? Since you seem to have no qualms putting stupid archaic wording to make yourself sound smart next to your futuristic terms. Fourth of all, have fun being unpublished. Don't expect to get out of that state with a good old combination of a pissy attitude and unwillingness to give up things like passive voice, which are frowned upon for a reason.

I've finished a crime novel last November. I still haven't finished revising it/editing it. I haven't even sent it off to a publisher since, because it was 3 years in the making, I've found about half of it (written when I had even less experience than I do now) to be utter crap. I look forward to yours; you'll probably publish it before I publish mine.

You're very creative. You're ideas are your own, and some shall admire them. Hear not what these talentless people have to say, for you know their knowledge of what is 'good writing' comes from MSN conversations, the internet, and mass failings of English class because they can't write proper sentences.(Let alone novels)

I think this idea of balance relates not only to equilibrium (which makes us feel as though things are "right") but also our sense of justice.

it is simple god made everyone equal. it is inherently in us to believe that way because god put that there and it is obvious that is the case in life and religion probably introduced this fact.

Well there are ppl that believe those things happen as a result of our evil actions in past lives (karma).

Interesting. There is always the idea that it is better to give than receive. However, if it is the ONLY apple that I have, I don't think I would be able to give it away! I'm sure there are those who give more than they receive, regardless of creed. It seems the world has three types. Those who give, those who take and those that sit on their butts.

You didn't actually just say that. You just repeated what I just said in a different way. People do want so much for anything to be real, especially in the case of religion. And actually, animals don't have wants for the most part....usually just needs. There are a few exceptions, but the majority of animals are driven by need...not want. Want is really what separates us from the lower animals.

You're an idiot. If an animal wants to move its legs, that's a want. Yeah they do want religion to be real, why do you think they stray away from logic(that's why)? Wants is a general term. It's part of having a choice. Animals do actually think you imbecile, they don't think in language like us, but they obviously think in pictures. Your theory falls apart like a strawman, just give up.

Reason 1: for a sense of security. EG, a friend of mine was deeply religious & with othes of like mind until she was brutally beaten & raped. But God didn't let that happen to good people: yet she's a good person. Unable to reconcile this, she lost her friends because she was evidence that their belief was a lie and they couldn't handle it. (Btw, I saw people thank God when some coal miners were thought alive, but no one cursed God when it turned out they were actually dead.)

Reason 2: psychology. EG, the "business lunch." The exchange of gifts between rulers and powers that be, too (in these times, it's often called special interests). You can see it in dating all the time, too. I've learned to beware of the kindness of strangers, because too many will decide that they can in turn lay claim to my life if I accept their gift, even to the point of trying to rape me to get what was "owed." Most aren't that extreme, but the principle behind it is all too common.
