Because movies are so much better about having dialogue that shows what the character is thinking/feeling, whereas books tend to rely a little more on telling you what the character's thoughts are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204802545454891530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-79270801671361482502013-11-23T13:15:04.104-06:002013-11-23T13:15:04.104-06:00Why thankee!Why thankee!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204802545454891530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40261079256952914142013-11-23T13:13:08.181-06:002013-11-23T13:13:08.181-06:00Haha, I really like Brett now too.

Otherwise, you'll wind up with characters who are saying things purely to spark the reply you want from your MC. And it'll sound like a author contrived scene, rather than a natural one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204802545454891530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-65590564442089803392013-11-23T13:01:59.922-06:002013-11-23T13:01:59.922-06:00One of my friends just gave me a critique saying s...One of my friends just gave me a critique saying she'd like to see my characters voice show through more, so perfect timing for me too.
