Jim speaks much truth
Kiriath:
Much truth.
The LJ posts have helped my writing quite well. :D

Well, you certainly broke the rule of intelligence by not using the handy-dandy edit link to edit your original post to clean up the evidence. :P
EDIT: They call it "modify" on this forum. Same thing, though.

original post?? what original post?? I have no idea what you are talking about. Hmm, oh well. ;)
Anyhoo, to get back on topic, I agree with Kiriath; especially concerning character development...Jim's instructions are priceless! It seems so basic, but I had never thought to create a list of Tags or Traits for use with each character-I guess i just figured I knew my characters in my head, so they would come out consistent on paper. As an ULTRA newbie writer, I find his basic instruction to be a very helpful resource. Now if he can just spare the time to do an article on dialogue.......
Kiriath:
First element of advice, the one everyone seems to say:
Listen to people talk. :)
GG Crono:
And this is why we keep giving this man our money. He knows his shit. ;D

Getting a good sense of dialogue is exceedingly important.
