RE: A Chance Encounter (A Japanese Folktale)

in #story6 years ago

I do enjoy your folktales... And the paintings that accompanied it are beautiful... Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks for reading. How did you feel about the length of this one? Did it get boring anywhere along the way, or was the dialogue unnatural at any part?

I thought the reading was fine... I wasn't bored at all! May be long for some - especially 'kids' these days... ;) - but it did offer some unexpected turns... in the sense of 'normal' tales... But with your Japanese tales, I somehow have come to expect that, that they don't take the normal run of stories... :)

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.

Do these tales take unexpected turns? I don’t really notice when I’m writing them. I did, however, reread two older translations recently, and there were a couple plot twists I had forgotten all about and that surprised me;-)

Unexpected, as in, not run-of-the-mill type of turns... and is also more 'enduring'... :)
