Sorry, not Wing. Just a reviewanon. But I do recall he said that most of the stories about that guy aren't true, so I think it will be cool to see a more realistic depiction of him.
Maybe soon I can finish my book and you can be asking me about my next book instead.

So to give Faulkner as an example, unlike him I don't like to mess with the spelling that much in dialogue to affect how the reader pronounces a word. I understand why he does it to carry on the oral tradition but as for me I don't personally like to do it. I would rather stick to a certain voice and mess with the diction more instead.
One thing he does that I really enjoy is how he ends sentences with a comma and then a gerund. It has this lingering effect where you have the mental picture with some persistent action. He uses this to such great effect for a vivid experience. In the Sound and the Fury he does this with the word "bellowing" a lot that it became this agonizing vocalization of suffering through the story.

Guess I'm not writing that romantic section tonight, I will write the painful one instead.
