I prefer to use contemporary names wherever possible.<br /><br />It's not the end of a chapter or their conversation, just the end of a very short extract I copied and pasted here. :) I'm trying to explore their states of mind and how Thomas feels about sentenced to death in revenge for Piers. He has quite a bit to say about it. :)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-10224205781408458992012-06-21T20:01:47.415+01:002012-06-21T20:01:47.415+01:00I REALLY like the speech you wrote for Edward! It...I REALLY like the speech you wrote for Edward! It sounds like (what I imagine) he sounded like! Why do you have him call Thomas "Thomelyn"? Was that a common nickname at the time?<br /><br />The only criticism I have is that you spell things out too neatly at the end (<i>You're going to sentence me to death tomorrow? ... For revenge?</i>). A lot of historical fiction spells things out too clearly for the reader--probably because historical novelists are used to nonfiction writing styles!karacherithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-41498256621165379982012-06-20T18:55:52.397+01:002012-06-20T18:55:52.397+01:00Exactly :) :)Exactly :) :)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-4971989085482690352012-06-20T18:55:01.047+01:002012-06-20T18:55:01.047+01:00Ah, that makes sense in context then.

Throughout my fictional writing about Edward, he has a tendency to hyberbole and to dramatise himself, and at one point says he should abdicate in favour of his 3-year-old son - he doesn't really think he has that option or that he could have left England for Piers - it's just his way of expressing himself, expressing a wish he doesn't think could ever come true. :)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-57816721443059931322012-06-20T18:13:11.062+01:002012-06-20T18:13:11.062+01:00Ouch, the evil word verification is back.

Having it off didn't make a difference for my little corner in the Bloggiverse. <br /><br />Lovely writing indeed. Though I wonder about the part where Edward says he should have chosen love over the crown - it strikes me as too modern. Medieaval kings thought they got their position by the grace of God and it was not in their power to abandon it (except to join a monastery). Is there any hint that Edward may have thought along the lines he does in your snippet. That would make him even more interesting.Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-83361521774822183822012-06-20T05:14:15.296+01:002012-06-20T05:14:15.296+01:00So glad you like it, thank you!So glad you like it, thank you!Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-51812969913230389192012-06-20T03:59:45.271+01:002012-06-20T03:59:45.271+01:00Absolutely beautiful!!!
