I honestly have read the books and most of them are good. I am currently doing my Master research and one of the books is used as my textual analysis. I am a writer myself and had posted stories online. I thought of wanting my work published but I\u0026#39;m afraid my stories won\u0026#39;t get accepted because it is out of the norm. Nonetheless, if there will be a chance for silverfish books to open up again, I would sent one of my stories just to hear the feedbacks. I have read the stories from the books and some really moved me, some made me cry, some made me think. Isn\u0026#39;t that a good thing? Writing is a platform for us to present our perceptions to the world and it can be highly influential.

continue?"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7912730\/9081839601487390379\/comments\/default\/4887626580519748405"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7912730\/9081839601487390379\/comments\/default\/4887626580519748405"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/thebookaholic.blogspot.com\/2007\/10\/wot-no-more-silverfish-new-writing.html?showComment=1414479691104#c4887626580519748405","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Elle"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/04003204799957192077"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/thebookaholic.blogspot.com\/2007\/10\/wot-no-more-silverfish-new-writing.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-9081839601487390379","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7912730/posts/default/9081839601487390379","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-463655769"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"October

Paying others to post negative reviews; I am enlightened. This seems to be a legit publicity tool and I definitely see how it could work, especially if bigger companies were to pay people to shame books by smaller publishers. I mean, I certainly see Penguin starting a facility devoted to this purpose. The bastards. Secondly, I urge you to inspect carefully the evidence you have, and find out if it\u0026#39;s a widespread occurence or if this kind of thing has only been limited to your book.

I have not read exorbitant amounts of fiction from the eastern world but it was first brought to my attention via Asian Cinema.  I think the best and most intuitive starting point for developing a feel for how the story structure differs would be to watch a few of the numerous movies that have been produced by hollywood and by an asian company.  For example the film \u0026quot;The Departed\u0026quot; was bought from a Hong Kong movie titled, \u0026quot;Infernal Affairs\u0026quot;.  There is a Chinese movie titled \u0026quot;A woman, a gun, and a noodle shop\u0026quot; that was adapted from the cohen brothers film \u0026quot;Cold Simple\u0026quot;, and we can even look at movies such as \u0026quot;The Ring\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;Ringu\u0026quot; or the American and Japanese versions of \u0026quot;The Grudge\u0026quot;.  I\u0026#39;ve noticed a few superficial differences such as character relationships feeling underdeveloped when we are supposed to feel an investment in a character\u0026#39;s plight and feeling like the movie has climaxed even though there are still a few story arcs that are tied up afterwords.  Also the structural difference is incredibly evident in mystery, plotting, and thriller story lines.  Just take a look at the differences between the \u0026quot;Ocean 11\u0026quot; franchise structure as opposed to the recent police mystery thriller \u0026quot;Cold War\u0026quot; that came out of Hong Kong.  It is difficult to follow for me and I always feel like i\u0026#39;m behing the logic.  This is definitely something I will have to research further.  I actually stumbled on this discussion looking for answers to these very problems.
