I'll write the scene and the dialogue, sit back and look at it, reverse it, and look at it again.<BR/>Thank you for bringing Randy's lesson to my attention. I truly appreciate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-7112988385525536022008-01-23T18:13:00.000-05:002008-01-23T18:13:00.000-05:00Diet soda kills brain cells?

He showed us how to identify the motivation sentences/section, then the reaction section. All the while I nodded my head in agreement at my computer monitor....<BR/><BR/>Then I tried to do the same thing with my own work and started banging my head AGAINST the monitor! lol<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I understand it in theory, but sometimes it is hard to pick it out in my own work.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder to watch our MRUs!Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-71825572060450521542008-01-23T16:59:00.001-05:002008-01-23T16:59:00.001-05:00p.s. the tacos sound great after my APPLE for lunc...p.s. the tacos sound great after my APPLE for lunch. :)Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-66375606637435805912008-01-23T16:59:00.000-05:002008-01-23T16:59:00.000-05:00Ah, MRUs.

I have done battle with scenes like this many times, get it all in order, get all the actions and reactions in there, but make it fast too.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.com
