Too late for the introspection debate?
Shoot. Had my gloves on, ready to come out boxing...
I want and need to learn the writer's craft. I guess so I can know what's out there, what sins I am currently commiting, and what the possibilites that I haven't even imagined are.
That said, I'm often afraid to look too closely at the 'do and don't's, afraid they might freeze the muse, does that make sense?
Also, I'm with you, Yvonne. When it comes to characters speaking quietly, I don't so much "murmur" (will need to use this one) as "mutter" and "in a low voice" is big with me, too. Too much so!
Interesting thread.
