RE: Why Write?
Would you be more interested in reading typical forlktales written in the third person and beginning with Once upon a time, or Long, long ago...
Or would you rather read a more contemporary type of story that remains true to the folk tale story it is retelling?
I think the later. I like to read stories written in the language and style of the era it is from. That makes the stories interesting from the point of view of the story what I learn about how language was used at the time.
Thanks

Keeping language historical is difficult. That’s not something I’ve spent much time trying to do. My fear is that using antiquated language will effect the reading experience in a negative way.
I think that is possible and if it gets in the way of conveying the story then I suggest you replace it with modern and easier to understand prose. 😊
I’ll give it a shot.
