I've been struggling with the charact...Thanks.<br /><br />I've been struggling with the character voice quite a bit--I'm glad my instincts were right. I'll definitely clear that up. I think once I have that, I can backtrack and push the world building backwards.<br /><br />I'll have to also clear up the sleep walking a bit too.<br /><br />As for the incarnation thing--not sure how to get that in. I picked that up in Hinduism class. Rama and Sita are incarnations of the gods Vishnu and Lakshimi. The strict definition was told to me as something like: reincarnation is the soul born again. Incarnation means you can have multiple forms of the same god existing at once... In the case of Hinduism, the idea was that one didn't get to see the true form god unless they were incarnated (I think this is more Vedanta, though), but getting into that is info dumpish, so I deal with it later. ^^;; I used the more jargon version of the term. My bad. Far too clinical, I forgot the average reader.<br /><br />And what's that thing with the pillared hallway, but opening to the outside, but it's covered in a hallway. Exactly like this: http://i.pbase.com/o6/31/233431/1/79769630.ztzzj6lP.Mandu122.jpg<br /><br />Description is hard to pin in this case. I'll ask my cousin (Architect) for the technical term. =P If she doesn't know my aunt (Greco-Roman Historian) will.<br /><br />I'll ask my friend who lives in India how Indians back in the day measured time... I'm not sure. (I'm not sure anyone knows that from that time period. I could cheat and use Greek or Turkish, I think.) ^^;;Kim Yoonmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016834111895882621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-28594600417653060952011-02-09T19:16:44.423-08:002011-02-09T19:16:44.423-08:00Shannon, I'm glad it came across so clearly fo...Shannon, I'm glad it came across so clearly for you.

I love when someone takes a technique I've been working on but didn't quite understand and succinctly wraps it up in a ribbon of easy comprehension. I totally have to link this on my blog for easy access.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-46893408481275427952011-02-09T16:02:50.022-08:002011-02-09T16:02:50.022-08:00Thanks, E.

Wow, this is great. I enjoyed reading this too.E. Arroyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634213563563094173noreply@blogger.com
