stolen from [livejournal.com profile] rivlee and [livejournal.com profile] uniformly

Give me one of my own stories, and a time at some point after the end of the story or before the story started, and I'll write you at least 100 words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story begins or ten years in the future.

fdfdfd thank you! i work hard on the dialogue. I SAY EVERYTHING OUT LOUD IN HORRIBLE RENDITIONS OF THE ACCENTS IN THE PRIVACY OF MY ROOM TO SEE HOW IF IT FITS. and try to pick up on people's little speech patterns, the way they talk, the emphasis they use and stuff. (like whenever i write toye, i think of his speech about joe toye day, and go off of that. or, i have this quote of babe's written down: "naww, i'm, i'm not saying he's nuts, i'm just sayin', aw, forget it. forget it! aw come'on, you've seen him bill, he's all [flustered]-- wound up like a spring!" that i can hear his voice whenever i read it.

ANYWAY POINT IS, I FIND THE WAY PEOPLE SPEAK/MAKING IT SOUND LIKE GENUINE DIALOGUE REALLY IMPORTANT/SIGNIFICANT TO A CHARACTER.

tl;dr TY BB ♥
