It tends to flow during the creative process, although it requires intensive editing later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832782604769370695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-27468118105669035682010-04-23T05:36:03.670-07:002010-04-23T05:36:03.670-07:00I am amazed at how much great information you gave...I am amazed at how much great information you gave here!

I especially appreciate your tip about speech tags--I didnt realize I was doing that sometimes.

Very good!!<br /><br />I observe conversations in real life a lot. So much so that I end up being like the close talker from Seinfeld who'd stand like inches from your face during a conversation. Dialogue is a powerful tool and I hope to strengthen my own in future.DeanfromAustraliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292995600982621329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-29590315479890496272010-04-18T15:47:13.002-07:002010-04-18T15:47:13.002-07:00A Hopeful Romantic: You’re welcome!

Thanks for visiting. =)<br /><br />Jennifer: Thank you!<br /><br />Roxane: I’ve been looking for a book that could help specifically with dialogue, so I’ll have to buy that one. Thanks for recommending it to me. <br /><br />Claire: Same with me. Some people would rather read books than watch movies, and others vice versa – but I think I’m stuck in between. :) Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Mia: I’ll have to watch that show sometime. My favorite part about writing dialogue is also when the characters bring humor verbally. That’s why it’s so important to create diverse characters that each have a different sense of humor. Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Linda: I’m sort of picky about the suspense books that I read. I usually only read the type of books that I would write, and I can’t exactly see myself writing suspense one day. But who knows! God may change my desire. :) I’ve never seen that movie, but you’re right, being an actor definitely helps – which is odd, considering my two main passions are writing and acting. Thanks so much for your comment!Tessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-33789274987511706982010-04-18T07:36:08.315-07:002010-04-18T07:36:08.315-07:00Tessa, nice job.

As actor, I'll bet that ones gets the blood pumping. Can't wait to see your name penned across the bottom of a book.

My favorite part about dialogue is when two characters tease each other and verbally spar, bringing some humor to the story. It's not a movie or book, but one of my favorite examples of dialogue is between Rick Castle ad Kate Beckett in the TV show, Castle. Love it! :)Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847210876356844336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-37862246465557202302010-04-17T01:35:37.862-07:002010-04-17T01:35:37.862-07:00Seriously, wow!

It's called "From Where You Dream" and it's written by a cinematographer/author. In other words, he really knew how to create the kind of visual in words that he was able to create on screen. It helped me think and write in pictures too and has made a huge difference to me. With my journalism background, it was more about facts. Writing more visually has been an awesome discovery for me. Appreciate your thoughts on this too. :)Roxane B.
