Hey David,
Just revisited this piece after being reminded of it by something. I think what you say about the “objective collerative” is true, but does not take acount of “silence” as a factor. I’ve written more about this piece here: http://adamehad2.blogspot.com/2009/04/19page.html if you are interested.

Nice usage of the word “verisimilitude”!

How often is a story focused on the narrator? The main reason the story has a life to begin with is usually due to the interaction with the other characters we meet along the way. Excellent point! Thank you for always sharing and helping me add tools to my own writing…

Thanks for your useful advice especially the part which deals with the writer failing to incorporate the people into the emotional text of the story. I would hate my characters to be seen as ‘wooden’.

I’m glad people found David’s advice helpful. He’s the best editor I’ve ever worked with, that’s for sure.

Great article, thanks for your suggestions. The object correlative paints a more vivid picture in the reader’s mind than simply declaring “I felt lonely.” I’ll sure to keep this in mind in my own writings. Thanks again.
