Re: Heat of Winter
hey jay and thanks for reading.
Im gunna be quite honest, ive nevr been good with emotions. whenever i try to convey them, it just becomes this one word "and he was horrified" type crap that i cant stand. I figure, if i can't really write about emotion, I just write about what is happening. i leave what is happening in everyone's mind to the reader; i write, and they interpit.
As for the trench warfare trivia, it was stuff i picked up from reading. As far as actual trench warfare goes on, i read storm of steel and all quiet on the western front ( both really good), and was, for all intents and purposes, impressed at how simple but lethal it was. I also used trench warfare in this story to convey what a nosedive everything took; trench warfare is tacticless. You rush at them, they rush at you, etc. It was only really effective at slaughtering tons of people. Trenches themselves only really lasted to WWI, then were only used by defenders. What im trying to show is that because no one gets any training, people are left to blindly charge at the enemy.
Either way, thanks for reading.
P.S. C'mon now masa. i dont think we but heads that often
