A...An excellent list, especially number 3 (for me). As I'm more focused on dialogue than setting, I always worry that I've left the setting completely to the imagination of the reader.<br /><br />Thanks, Mark. :)I Must Be Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148155129334288438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-76896285605910309412009-11-11T20:54:20.255+00:002009-11-11T20:54:20.255+00:00Ha!

Naturally.<br /><br />I hadn't heard of Yates until she mentioned him -- I didn't even know Lost In Translation was adapted from a book. I couldn't stand the movie, so... hmm.

But at least it was before the movie. <br /><br />I believe a number of those are great advice for all of us; I believe some of them are good advice for a few; and there is one or two I question altogether. But it's a great list. I wish I got to attend rousing rambles about writing, but whenever I try, they insist on speaking about the ruddy Middle East.Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.com
