I totally thought of you and this post today! ...Ah! I totally thought of you and this post today! I am reading a book called Fablehaven. It's got quite a bit of dialog--suffers a little from the "reveal everything through speech" syndrome, but in one of those speeches where they're talking about Big Important Things to the Plot, one character is making eggs. She gives a paragraph long bit of speech, and at the end says "Scrambled?"<BR/>"What?" says the other character.<BR/>"Your eggs."<BR/>"Sure."<BR/>Then they go right back into long explanations of things. That little bit about the eggs made it totally work--it reminded me that these characters weren't sitting around talking, but were doing things as well. It made it seem much more real, just by bringing those few words in. Argh. I'm not explaining it well. Remind me to bring it to the next crit group meeting!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-48289497890604226992009-03-18T17:53:00.000-04:002009-03-18T17:53:00.000-04:00No advice from me because I suffer the same proble...No advice from me because I suffer the same problem! I could write pages and pages of dialogue for my characters and never get bored. <BR/><BR/>I'd definitely be interested in any advice people give you through comments. I guess I'll have to keep checking in looking for the answer.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!@GeekWillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408611984046977526noreply@blogger.com
