Dialogue is the gas pedal in your novel.

This is how you speed up dull sections without having to insert random violence or action.

A foil is a character that plays the straight guy off of your main character. They are often the reasoned voice of the reader.

Print off a random full page from your manuscript.

Use a highlighter to pick out all of the dialogue on that page.

How much is too much or too little?

What is the ratio of dialogue in your novel?

Is it a good balance with action, exposition etc?

A lot of good story comes from one character rubbing on another. Conflict, challenges, difficulties and similar push characters into actions they sometimes don't want to take. Dialogue is very important in novel speed and in fleshing out all characters.

Here's one I've had for a while. I first picked it up from a place called New Aeon Books in Manchester. Sadly the shop no longer exists.

There is a temptation to write lone-wolf stories. This type of story has a heavy focus on your protagonist and at the beginning it likely feels good. However, a good story often requires the actions of the hasp. This is another character who interacts with the main one.

In spite of...

We are all living through created chaos from our inadequate political leadership. It is fine to recognize it but you must not let it hijack your writing. Don't attach to created narratives but stand up under your own thoughts and power.

Another shipment of loose bound BETA books is mailing out on Monday. I am jazzed about it because it means I am back on schedule with my BETAs. If you are a BETA reader who has finished the last book I sent you then another is coming toward you. #writingcommunity #booksky #etareaders
