thanateFrom my notes on "The Vision of Tundal" (c. 1149, Ireland, the most popular & detailed vision-tour of the afterlife, pre-Divine Comedy):
Tundal (likeable scoundrel of handsome Irish knight) gets mad at a friend over dinner & has (a stroke) from which he lies unconscious 2 days. Spirit leaves body & is surrounded by crowd of demons mangling him, themselves, & his favorite songs, until rescued by guardian angel who shows him around: (followed by a catalog of the hellish scenes he witnesses)
Ah the joys of copying journey-narratives. "and then he saw this. and then he went over here and saw this. and then there was this other thing..." Which is completely true to the style I'm trying to represent, right down to the copying each event/locale from my source, mixing and matching with others as seems appropriate. And if my descriptions are better than theirs, I win, right?
Oh, and for those of you who are getting the nano e-mails... I'm not sure if I find it comforting or not that Chris Batey didn't make his 35k by the end of week 3, either.
