Writing Dialogue for Emotional Impact

Dear Readers,

Happy June. Summer is here now.

It has been a while since I made an entry. I've been busy with my own writing and with clients. One client I have got an agent for his script. So we've been working hard on that project, doing rewrites. Please note that even after getting an agent you will have to do rewrites. As I have told writers many times, the first and second drafts are never perfect for scripts and novels.

Today I have an post concerning DIALOG. So check it out.
