    Hello! Happy Belated St. Patrick’s Day. Like most people St. Patrick’s Day brings to mind the color green, over drinking, beer, and the Irish.

    Scene Wrap Up

    Filling Out or Rewriting

    Hello! Happy Wednesday! My next step in editing after doing the grammar edit is to usually re-read then fill out the areas where there seems to be something missing.

    As promised I said I’d follow up with focusing the scene on the interplay to two characters. Notice I’m focusing on the dialogue it’s self so there’s not much in terms of detail.

  • 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…
