Those sort of overt references are also slated for being toned down for the final version. They grow more in later posts.David J Hartunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027709208881295551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820541781055558345.post-84761362626483186132013-01-13T11:42:07.637-06:002013-01-13T11:42:07.637-06:00Is there significance to the 3 days in the electr...Is there significance to the 3 days in the electrified grave ? Why is it significant to Caesar that he laid the cornerstone for the bridge ?

Caesar is what I have wanted to be and pretended to be for a very long time.<br />I tried hard to get back into Caesar's way of seeing things. It's been a long time since I wrote in his mind :)David J Hartunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027709208881295551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820541781055558345.post-88932376808478100792012-07-09T12:40:15.155-05:002012-07-09T12:40:15.155-05:00I sense an epic climax around the corner... :D
So...I sense an epic climax around the corner... :D<br /><br />Something I wanted to mention - your limited use of dialog is wonderful. The narration style has a very distinct feel that's just perfect for the story. I also really like how Caesar describes common objects, not knowing what they truly are, and the reader puts together the pieces.Road to Grinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882179150281852324noreply@blogger.com
