Episode 136 - Jeff and Laura Q&A
The Dialogue Doctor Podcast - A podcast by Jeff Elkins - Mondays
Jeff and Laura take questions from the community. In the conversation, they cover: building villains, citing authors in your novel, writing outside your natural voice, subtext, writing voices that descend into madness, the mechanics of writing inner thoughts, displaying text messages in your story, grammar rules and when to break them, spicy scenes, using a character's name in speech, publishers and why they yell about things, and creating giant projects.
