Well, for you guys who are doing this, this is a bit tangential, but I thought it was pretty interesting.

Aye carumba.
That is beyond words. Just as I thought, it's by the same guy the got outed by Oprah for fabricating parts of his memoir, "A Million Little Pieces."

Congratulations, Sean! When do I get to read it? Or selections from it? Or when are you writing a second draft?

*hangs head in shame* Dialog is too difficult. As much as I told myself, "just type the words and you can punch it up later", I just kept feeling that I wasn't getting the "voice" of even the first two characters. Oh well. I write with my own voice here well enough.

I like writing dialog, but my characters are always the same. I'm sure my stories would go further if I had a real sense of each character.
There's always next year. Not that I can see the future and really guarantee that.
