Now that might not be in more than one session--I might go over and over a thing all at once--but I usually need to read through it a couple different ways to make sure I'm making it multi-dimensional.<BR/><BR/>SusanSusan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1146859472924556282006-05-05T14:04:00.000-06:002006-05-05T14:04:00.000-06:00Susan,I like the dialog tips.

If I read them before, I don't remember, but then, this the beauty of a having a mind like a sieve. <BR/><BR/>Re #3 -- I wholeheartedly agree, and was wondering if you find it possible to achieve balanced, textured dialogue in one go-around. I've found I have to work a scene 2 or 3 times (sigh, or even more) to achieve a conversation with depth, conflicting motivations, hidden agendas, and -- on top of everything -- blended with action & description. <BR/><BR/>Worse yet, often I don't KNOW about important aspects of the scene until AFTER I've written it the first time through. <BR/><BR/>So, I'm curious -- you're amazingly productive in your one hour per day. Do you (most of the time) achieve the sought-after balance the first time through, or over time??<BR/><BR/>- JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
