Reader Response Week (I lost count)

First of all I was one of those lucky few that had the links not working for some reason? Both on firefox and safari too. But through googling I was able to hunt down the stuff to read for this week.

So dialogue. I hate writing it. Halfway through the coversation I am always thinking it sound unrealistic and weird and then delete it all. I like internal conflict and description so much better. I guess its because dialogues you always have in your head never come out the way they should in real life. The worst part of dialogue is that when you have a short page limit and it stretches it out. If I see a lot of dialogue in a book, I usually skip it. Just not a fan. Hopefully this class will help change me mind. I like the reading on how to change dialogue up and how you can change the meaning of what is said by adding different adjectives and adverbs. I think I will use that to make my dialogue better, since it currently needs a lot of work for project 2. What I think needs to covered also is that different dialects (like southern accents versus boston) and languages would have different style rules. For example, writing realistic dialogue in my story, which has german characters, is really hard because realistically they don't speak english but the people reading my story don't speak german. I'm working on it though.
