Anabelle smirked and reached for the sugar. 'Anyone might think you had planned the whole thing.' ------------------------------ EXERCISE: Write eight lines of dialogue. Make them natural but not static - the reader must want to read on after the eight lines. They will have to set the scene and perhaps provide body movement. Think about how the characters will interact. The dialogue must HOOK the reader. | ||
