Yeah, a novel might be a bit much to go all dialogue, but I've definitely seen it work in shorter pieces. I think that would be a good exercise to try--even if the final draft has a more traditional structure.Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-32167043081576551162010-08-30T09:52:45.418-07:002010-08-30T09:52:45.418-07:00This just came up at my writer's group.

I feel this is a mistake for a piece that long--we never get a sense of where they are, what it looks like, what they are thinking unless they say it--which often sounds off. "Oh, yes, Jane the growing darkness and the storm outside precludes our ability to see a car pull up."<br />On the other hand, in a short piece it can work well, making it feel like you are onsite with the characters.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-61819301117504026472010-08-30T08:23:07.636-07:002010-08-30T08:23:07.636-07:00Ha!
