Best book written in first-person is Snow Crash, which adds in present-tense to make it feel like one long action movie. Check that poo poo out. EDIT: Actually I'm stupid as hell, but Anathem is by the same author, actually is in first-person and also worth reading. Down With People fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Sitting Here posted:Question: How painstaking are you when developing the climate and geography of a non-earth world (thinking more fantasy here than literally other planets in this universe)? I would go so far as to say that I stake not a single pain. There are folk who really get into worldbuilding, really like to fill in every nook and cranny of their worlds. I don't. That, for me, is where creativity goes to die. I have to stop writing and look up poo poo on Wikipedia or Google so I know what I'm talking about. The most I do is make sure that I'm using the right terms to describe something. That's where it ends.

Comma splicing just feels so natural to me. It feels more stream-of-conscious and less clunkier than dropping in an and. Though I can imagine in would get annoying if you used a lot of them.

I would say that 'mystery thriller' and 'lengthy detailed introduction to the plane between this world and the next' are not happy bedfellows. I would focus more on introducing the characters and sprinkling some details on the ethereal plane throughout the intro. It will probably work a lot better if the reader doesn't know what's going on until later.
