Things are moving .on.

Before I fully embark on my novel here are some thoughts about setting and description noun heavy writing which I like.  I am into the idea that my new novel has some kind of map that you understand eventually as the reader.  My last novel was not varied in terms of its landscape because it was in a world in which was creepy and dark and not the kind of place you would want to stay in as a nightmare might feel.  The book ends soon and you know you are going to leave that creepy place.  The location was critical to the novel.  You were never meant to feel totally comfortable.  The male antagonist was detailed with description at all times where the female character was all about mystery and intrigue.  She could exist in the imagination of the reader as what ever fantasy or horror or likely both that she could evoke by my writing of her.  The protagonist which is you is also left open ended.  So the only fleshed out character is the male antagonist.  Everything he does is intense and weird and scary.  Then all of a sudden he dissapears from the story never to show up again.  As a writer his physicality is very important as he is like a landscape onto himself.  Perhaps he is the finest creation in the novella.
