Brit vs. Yank

[driphoney]

How odd that he tried to change the dialogue. I think I'd only do that if it seemed like the character was going for a Shakespearean soliloquy or if the language used sounded stilted already.



Ooh, now I'm trying to guess which one.

I'm hoping there are thousands.

But I can share a pm with a trusted person. Besides, maybe I'm wrong.

Oh, and as for my dialogue. One excellent writer here fairly shouted at me when I mentioned changing it, so never fear. When I'm finally told I've done something right ... especially when it's someone I trust. And it was odd that the editor did give me recommendations because he's also previously praised my dialogue. Now ... if I could just figure out who to write the rest of the story.

And for all you Welsh, I'll part with my only Welsh phrase:

Nos da,
and rest well.

Absolutely. But what's that got to do with rugby?

Love of rugby is the most important character trait that I try to discover when I meet someone on- or off-line.

Well, I don't think I could go as far as saying I love rugby. But it's one hell of a lot better than football (that's 'soccer', to my US friends )
