Re: The Clockmaker Diary: entries 00001 - 00003

Thank you, I was beginning to think my stories were not going to get replies, heh. The simplicity of the sentence structure is intentional. I was trying to slow down the flow of the reader so he/she would pay attention to how fast the numbers of people getting banned from the Worldnet grew. There are seven people listed, starting with Ashida and ending with Allison, but they span 50,000 people.

I wrote these while bored at work (state employee) and really started to get into them. So much so that I am a little less than a third of the way through my first novel, which is based on these diary entries. I sort of feel like I was bashing the imagery over the reader's head, though. That is greatly toned down in the book. And by imagery, I mean the many MANY biblical references (Six explosions on as many continents in as many days (666), for six days and six nights (creation), ...or system dropped until 40 days later (Great Flood), etc.) There are many more if someone really wants to take a look.

Again, thanks for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

Otto
