It was supposed to be short, that's why its part of my Danza Macabra Series =P

Basically i had a long patch of disinterest with my gts writing, so i did this for a couple of friends to get me back in the mood :)  (it worked!)

Glad you enjoyed it though! Thanks for commenting ^_^

Ok, so teasing aside ;)  I can give you some brief answers on here, but i fear they may provoke more questions lol so it might be best if you get hold of me in some other way so we can actually chat rather than having to do this over a review section... I'll see what i can do though!

1: A good grasp of language is always a bonus, because using the same descriptive terms over and over often kills the meaning of them. Hearing the same term, for example "Titan" for every discription of something or someone big, it makes the word become bland and ordinary. Using a bigger vocabulary helps keep things fresh and busy in the reader's thoughts i think.

Drama is a huge aspect of my writing when going for scale. If something is shockingly large compared to the tiny, you need to think about the emotions it would stir in the tiny's mind, awe, fear, disbelief etc but couple the drama with real-world examples (like comparing the interior of the tin to a sports stadium) and instead of simply trying to implant an empathy with the tiny's emotions in the reader, you involve them by giving them an example they may know and be able to relate to and therefore understand the situation.

2: I tend to go almost entirely by sight, mainly because EVERYTHING i write, i see in my mind as i write it. For me, writing is basically like describing a film for someone, only the film is in my head. You need to keep the pace up to stop the scene from stagnating, but also you need give enough description to really impact the reader and get them to see what you see. Smells can often be associated simply with whatever you are describing by sight, mostly its a subconcious thing, as long as the reader is immersed, they will have a good idea of that already.

Mainly, when doing detailed scene descriptions, you should focus on whatever sense is being overwhelmed at that moment in time. So if they are trapped in a shoe, they will be humid, hot, their skin will itch from the damp insole (touch), then their throat will begin to burn with the thick musk of the insole and the sweat soaked into the walls of the shoe as the musty air sits heavy in their lungs (smell) and lastly the least assaulted sense will be the sight as their eyes strain to see in the gloom, barely making out the grimey blackened foot print on the grey ground beneath them as they crawl down the length of the shoe (sight)

So yah, go with the dominant sense, and work backwards :)

3: I'm not sure i understand the question, sorry >.< Like i say, try dropping me a message elsewhere so we can talk about it further ^_^
