Elizabeth Lowell's workshop: Wrap-Up
As this workshop comes to an end, I must say I'm a bit disappointed with it. Don't take me wrong. Elizabeth Lowell still is one of my favorite writers. However, I was expecting more lessons and thoughts to be posted, like in the Sherryl Wood's one. According to the description of this workshop, the topics to be touched were: 1. Who is Speaking? Developing Character Through Dialogue 2. Getting Information Into Dialogue 3. Internal or External? When, Where, and Why 4. Sexual Tension in Dialogue So, what did I learn from it? Okay, I learned that I shouldn't be wordy. Less words it's better. But then again, I'm not since basically my stories are mostly dialogues. Yet, besides that, what else did I learn? If I put everything in 15 lines, then I've got a winner? 15 lines of what? Dialogue? Should I count the "authorly things" that sometimes accompany those? Honestly? I don't know. *sighs* |
