    Facebook Poll related to Setting up of World, Explanations.

    in Week 1 Topics

    The early chapters set up many aspects of the future world and society where the novel is set. For example: What is Vision Speak? What is PURE? Explaining the Spiritual Centres and the Spiritual Contract, the laws of the land, etc. Did you feel that this was too much, could be less? Or would you like more information?

    Pea Doubleu: The necessary inclusion of 'description/explanation' in these first 15 chapters are not intrusive. They are part of the flow of narrative and are tied to the experiences of the characters as the story moves along. I never feel like I'm suddenly lifted out of the flow and are being fed a 'lesson.' I'm getting a sense of both the restrictions of PURE and the liberation promised by Vision Speak. Glad to be reading your book again. (bob)

    Rosanne: I like the pace of the book ... too many descriptive explanations can hold up the reader and prevent us from getting to know the characters in the book. The readers imagination is in overdrive throughout the beginning as we attempt to relate to the grand settings andthe motives of the characters.

    Thanks Rosanne. I agree with your statement. As a reader, even if the descriptive language is poetic and beautiful, I can get impatient if it goes on for too long.

    Robyn: I felt the descriptions set the stage well for the reader, I am always keen to delve into the world I am reading about, and look forward to future books providing us with further insight to this new world!!

    Everyone on the Facebook poll (11 voters) indicated that they felt it was just right and explanations are needed and don't detract from the story. (there were 3 choices - Just Right, Too Much, Too Little) Some specific comments follow.
