So much I cold see happening, and Vlad has been whisper to me... LOL, he wants to tell his story, makes want to write more....<br /><br />Considering Vlad Tepes (which means impaler) turned to the good side, it's kind of redeeming, sort of, he still feeds, just on the bad guys.... LOL<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-63620682241082951582010-09-21T17:21:25.289-05:002010-09-21T17:21:25.289-05:00I meant to say, I do hope your dog is better now. ...I meant to say, I do hope your dog is better now.

I always worry I'm doing too much monologuing and not even dialogue. It's hard to tell when enough is enough. I have to say, I really enjoyed your flash! <br />When there are so few words, and your running for your life, having a conversation is unrealistic. Your's felt real.<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-66093741727444501102010-09-19T13:53:08.587-05:002010-09-19T13:53:08.587-05:00My problem is I'm not the most talkative of pe...My problem is I'm not the most talkative of persons. And then when I think of dialog I think it sounds dumb, so I tend to stay away from it when I can. <br /><br />When I wrote Spirits Unveiled, I dreaded the dialog...unless it was sex, then I just went with it. But just normal conversation, it was hard trying not to have them say the same things over and over again.<br /><br />That's good that you test yourself. Perhaps I should do that sometime, trying to focus on dialog.<br /><br />Dialog is so important in a novel, it helps to move the story along at a quicker pace, and makes it more interesting and you sometimes feel closer to the characters through dialog.Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832983748006739171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-67916017909293142042010-09-19T13:17:19.469-05:002010-09-19T13:17:19.469-05:00Hi Amy!

It's easier to tell a story than to let the characters speak the story, and in flash fiction, it's okay to do either. I've been trying to practice my dialogue, because it is so damn hard to write. But when dialoguing, it's hard to change tenses, stay in the flow of the story, not let the story get away. I don't know, I only know what I garnered from other authors and trying to learn to let the characters speak through me, if that makes any sense....
