I think they can make a story deeper and more involved, without necessarily actually appearing in the story.<br /><br />Confused? Well, I believe that even if details don't make it into the story proper, they are still there in your mind, guiding you to a more consistent and rounded world. You end up subliminally convincing the reader that what they are seeing on the page is just a small part of a wider world. A bit like those optical illusions where your mind sees a whole figure even though only a couple of parts are visible.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955548665653773708.post-75976666923970430752010-04-16T08:14:15.203-04:002010-04-16T08:14:15.203-04:00Hardly, my dear.
