OR "Hi, my name is Cjad," stammered the young man. <br />I have read on a few writing 'help' sites that some editors will toss anything that isn't a 'said' derivative. <br /><br />Looking at several novels and other published materials, it seems perfectly acceptable to use anything (that flows) and variety is the spice of life. <br /><br />How do you write dialog? http://cjad.livejournal.com/2925.html public 2 http://cjad.livejournal.com/2471.html Wed, 26 Jul 2006 04:25:26 GMT http://cjad.livejournal.com/2471.html I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for stopping by my journal. I probably will not be making regular posts right now because I have so little freetime that keeping up a journal leaves that much less time to write stories.<br />Feel free to comment and say hi.<br />Thanks again, <br />-Cjad http://cjad.livejournal.com/2471.html public 1
