Wow, what a great week for you1
My first, u...6K!!! Wow, what a great week for you1<br /><br />My first, unpublished novel is dual narrative. I had so much fun doing that. I never wanted to- I thought it would be too difficult, but as the story went on, I found the two voices were completely different; they spoke totally differently in my head. When I finished, I went over it many, many times, and one of those times was completely for voice, checking each word to make sure that it was something my character would say (and making sure it didn't sound too much like what the other character sounded like). Dual narrative is a LOT of fun. Not sure if I'll ever go that way again, but I really enjoyed it. :) My advice is to just listen to your characters. Know them well, know what makes them tick, and their voices will come. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557330505101892876.post-33523966754111188542011-06-02T12:28:10.728-04:002011-06-02T12:28:10.728-04:00I'm sorry, I have no advice on this one. Writi...I'm sorry, I have no advice on this one. Writing from a guy's perspective is hard, and rarely done right in books being published these days. Well, if you ask me, any way. I think your idea of words they use, though, is a good one. Good luck and congrats on the 42K. Holy crap, girl!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.com
