It's tricky and it's a challenge.<br /><br />Hi Denise<br />That sounds like things are going well.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your comments.<br />NancyN. R.

I'm back from my blog hiatus and am thrilled to report I got the first draft of my romantic paradise 'fantasy' finished and now to the editing (love that part). I'm not going to let it drift this time as I have an editor keen to read it.<br /><br />I enjoy these posts of yours. It's so important to get the feel of the era/country/characters right. What's wrong with a few cliches here and there? Some annoy me, but some I like. We are too hard on ourselves. :DDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-80868071086152939692012-12-03T16:30:45.516-07:002012-12-03T16:30:45.516-07:00I've always found dialogue tricky; if you actu...I've always found dialogue tricky; if you actually sat down and wrote, word for word, actual conversations you had today, you'd probably find it full of umms, awkward constructs, etc. And too much slang or local dialect (even if authentic)can render dialogue virtually unreadable. So the author has to try and keep the flavor while maintaining flow - not an easy thing to do!Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-7401706823706206542012-12-03T10:37:48.206-07:002012-12-03T10:37:48.206-07:00Individual character voices didn't come easy. ...Individual character voices didn't come easy.
