I just about died laughing! Of course, that's a relic to her. <br /><br />I'm not a writer, but I love to read, and dialogue is a biggie for me. It really bothers me when it doesn't sound natural. It can throw the whole story off. <br /><br />I especially love that last tip. I often wonder what my dog is thinking, but I'm pretty sure I have a good clue, and it ain't pretty. Bet he wishes I'd walk him more.

I do the same thing, only b/c I'm super inquisitive, I guess. <br />I am reviewing Girl Unmoored soon. I'm really excited about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355438390442316391noreply@blogger.com
