I tried out Fenian's Exercise 5. Love, hate and neutral on the subject of Celtic Historical Fiction, using pen and several sheets of paper, the results turned out to be a fruitless mess, which I suppose stripped the spontaneity of the exercise. Using Flidais'es excercise as a bench-mark, I fell considerably short.
Reading, as we do, plenty well-written factual books on Celtic life, archaeologists tend to float my boat, when given a Celtic Historical Fictional book, I become over critical about the premise
the enviromental conflict, the lack of inner conflict, maybe it's an age thing? But give me a good DVD and I will tell you how cleverly it was put together. Oh! What a can of worms?
