Writing Dialogue
« on: January 31, 2009, 12:21:20 am »
I was thinking about one of my weaknesses in story writing and came upon this website, talking about how dialogue should be written.

It also has some nice pointers about overkill, as well as some links to other resources at the bottom.

Just something to think about if your writing and trying to break away from the traditional-ish journal style.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
