As a writer used to writing historicals, I found the articles to be very helpful as I construct my first ever SFR.Susan Macateehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07476340887041053638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-53685887887357607182009-02-12T21:22:00.000-05:002009-02-12T21:22:00.000-05:00Kimber An, yes, that cover was a nice change. It conveys warmth without going over the top. Val Con man titty? Heaven forbid! Miri might feel differently, dunno....<BR/><BR/>Hi, Z! Miller's Crossing, eh? Must remember that one. I had to look it up at imdb, and found that Steve Buscemi's in it! I'm sold. <BR/><BR/>FARGO had great dialogue, too. Basically any movie with Steve Buscemi has good dialogue, come to think of it. Steve Buscemi man titty? Now we're talking!<BR/><BR/>But seriously, I really enjoyed the dialogue in AGENT OF CHANGE and NAKED IN DEATH. It's so good in places that I had to stop and re-read the lines. Truly clever dialogue--not clever that's trying too hard.<BR/><BR/>Rowena Cherry has a lot of very sly and clever dialogue in her books. She has fun with it and it shows.<BR/><BR/>You can't go wrong with good dialogue.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-83058770281023671392009-02-12T20:53:00.000-05:002009-02-12T20:53:00.000-05:00I love writing dialogue so much that I often have to go back and put all the other stuff in...like, you know, the plot and stuff.<BR/><BR/>Fave movie for dialogue - Miller's Crossing. Brilliant!Agent Z.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14298234771874644507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-21013245840359300092009-02-12T20:28:00.000-05:002009-02-12T20:28:00.000-05:00I've read all those, I think.<BR/><BR/>I was instantly attracted to the cover art of Agent of Change. The woman isn't Hollywood beautiful and it made me instantly assume the story had substance. I had to go read the blurb at Amazon.com and I think I'd better get it. That's what a bazillion Romance novel covers with mostly naked and perfectly beautiful lovers on the front will do to a reader.Kimber Anhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.com
