I don't quite know what I was thinking when I wrote them--I think I was just thinking aloud! I'll be applying these ideas as I go, thanks.Amie Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116472165351759477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599540626069345545.post-91466702969107875862011-01-11T21:07:45.945+00:002011-01-11T21:07:45.945+00:00And some scenes that you think are going to be rea...And some scenes that you think are going to be really hard and keep putting off end up being really great.

Action and subtext while dialoging is where it's at. :)Laura Paulinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503090226508079501noreply@blogger.com
