INSPIRATION

Lately I've been thinking about the writing style of Wrack by James Bradley - in particular, the way in which there are no quotation marks throughout the entire story, and instead, whoever is speaking is made clear through his clever use of character voices. I think I'll do something similar to this, though obviously my stories won't contain as much dialog as Wrack, due to the nature of my theme (isolation). I also think that the lack of quotations in my story (for however little dialog there might be) will be a sort of reflection of isolation - the story will seem more "quiet." I'll have to work on this a bit more.

EDIT [13/01/09]: I think the sense of "quietness" throughout the story will be more fitting to the theme of isolation. Just clarifying.
