Stilted Writing

I have often used “stilted writing” in my novels in order to create a voice of omniscience. I feel that by doing so it captivates the reader, allowing them to fully immerse their minds in my subject matter and fully believe in what I am striving to say. I have always been attracted to this manner of writing since the old, narrated science fiction and horror movies where there was always the “stilted scientist” or “resident authority”, usually with a British accent, who possessed all the answers in order to save the world. It is a technique that I’m sure has run its course some sixty years ago already, for in anything I read now a days, I find none of it. Yet for the certain novels that I’ve produced, I have brought it back, feeling it to be a necessary evil. Of course there are always those of the critical nature that if they cannot argue your politics, then they will attack your craft, your voice, word usage, etc., anything to diminish what you are trying to achieve. I understand that. If the subject matter is offensive, however, simply stop reading it. No? Anywho, that is my reason for using stilted writing in most all of my works.
