Or why "cutting edge" in the age of multiple international communication isn't just for the new.
It's for the reinvented.
"At any moment, we can find and then co mingle just about any point in time and then send it off into the world. In an instant."

"The storyline without "gravity" will give the reader a kind of vertigo. Disoriented? The reader may stay and enjoy the sensation or they may leave. It's human nature to constantly try to make sense of incoming data. It's a matter of survival and deeply ingrained. You can stray off the path, defy gravity, but only for the novelty of it. Continuity, even in the world of science fiction where up can be down and time travelers move about the topography of time like giants stride across the Earth, is still very important. This is probably even more important in fiction than in the real world because the reader has already been asked to enter a world, that to begin with, is a fiction. Add time travel to the mix and -whooboy- vertigo to the max.
ReplyDeleteDam quotation marks.

comment on the importance of continuity in writing.
LOL, I actually wrote that above comment. It's abit "werdy" but on point.

In other words? You can muck with continuity but not too much or the reader will lose that lovely sense of disorientation and might stop reading.
ReplyDeleteJust saying.
