Just a little ditty inspired by mirtle's drawing! It's just voice and it should actually be in time - so have at it! (Maybe 52bpm I think?)


 


This winter I want to go live in a tree


I'll be in its belly til January


I hope that you will remember me


And visit me in my November tree

As usual I attached my detailed notes/suggestions/edits. Again sorry for the blood bath.


There is some great, great development in part 2 of Shelter. It picks up right where the first part ends and I love it. Again you use the flashback scenes superbly and they flow right in to the rest of the story. You do an excellent job fleshing out this post apocalyptic landscape and you get a sense of the grueling existence it Michelle's search for a place to hide herself from the elements.  Her character is also developed wonderfully! You put so much of her in to these 2 sections that you get a really strong sense of who she is. Adding the part about the flowers in the first section is a great move to set up the scene they come in to play in later on.


I defnitely feel like there is a lot more to be said about Michelle and the world she resides in. I'd love to get more glimpses of her with her parents. Were they young when the zero hour happened? I'd also love to get more on David's father since he is breifly mentioned. As the comments for this have stated, there is definitely a novel's worth of story just in these 2 short sections you've given us! Overall the imagery is great! And you keep the reader engaged and involved!


Some general comments, try avoiding using the character's name so frequently. There are a few points where it comes up several times in the span of 2 sentences. You want to balance it with pronouns to prevent it from sounding too stiff. Also you have a lot of long, long sentences. Try to vary the length as too many long sentences in a row start to feel exhausting and the reader has a tough time knowing where things start and stop. Lastly, try simplifying some of the descriptions. I highlighted several in my notes as examples. Often being overly wordy or complicated takes away from what could be a very sharp and poignant image. Brevity can do a lot in fiction sometimes.


Great piece again overall and a great extension of part 1! I really hope you keep expanding on this storyline as I think it is an awesome read! Keep up the great work! Can't wait for part III!

This was taken on 2 November 2011, the day of the General Strike at Occupy Oakland. I was unable to participate in the march to close the Port of Oakland, but I was able to spend about 2 hours getting pictures of the plaza as well as a couple of marches (they seemed to be going out about every couple hours all day long). Since it was also Dia de los Muertos/All Souls Day, there were lots of shrines and other religious observances dedicated to people who have died as the result of corporate greed, police brutality, and similar reasons. Several of them were grouped in the same area, and that's where this video was taken.
