Okay, so I have a few questions. Until recently, most of my writing (and reading for that matter) has been normal prose (by that I mean short stories, etc. often narrated from a first or third person point of view). Now, however, I have discovered the wonderful world of theatre and plays and all of that (sorry for the generalization). I think I'd like to also start writing maybe a little bit in this genre type thingy (y'know). But I'm finding the transition is a bit difficult. I know one of the major things is the absence of direct narration and the prominence of dialogue, but I was wondering if you could give some pointers on how to do that. Thank you! p.s. (I think it'd be a great idea to cover that kind of stuff in the newsletter too since I think there are a lot of writers on writing.com who are kind of lost as far as that transition--just a suggestion) Thanks ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
