    Fantasy Languages – In writing

  • Dialogue in a Scene with a Large Cast of Characters

    Hi All! I hope your week is going well. I am going back and editing scenes where there is a large cast of characters in the room. Think thirty or so people sitting around a table holding a conversation but it’s focused solely on one person. The scene I’m currently in reads a little like…
