I am trying to catch myself when I do that. Also trying to catch myself with those dreaded WAS words. :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-31602646952003322912009-08-06T16:11:59.960-04:002009-08-06T16:11:59.960-04:00I love writing dialogue.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like to do them. This one is fun though. And you're right, dialogue is very important to a story. It is one of the pieces and sometimes I treat it as the only piece. :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-20584296204564855782009-08-06T13:08:30.656-04:002009-08-06T13:08:30.656-04:00Jenna: Try it.

And I SUCK big time at spontaneous stuff, this just helps me see I don't need the needless conversation that I always want to tack on. :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-17405416050318308842009-08-06T12:45:28.456-04:002009-08-06T12:45:28.456-04:00I was shocked to learn that some people read books...I was shocked to learn that some people read books only for the dialogue, so that's how important it can be.<br />And I think any exercise can shake us loose, help us see more clearly. Sometimes I really resist the hard ones but I know it's because I haven't thought through my story as well as I could. If I persevere, it's enlightening.Tricia J.

I suck at impromptu writing. really, really suck. I have to 'get into character' and go back and re-read my last chapter before I can even write a word.<br /><br />but, like I said, there's no single path and I say we grab all the tools we can to help us along our way, right?Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-1847385646011697822009-08-06T11:23:32.646-04:002009-08-06T11:23:32.646-04:00I'm a fan of writing exercises...sometimes.
