And the best part is that if you wait a few weeks you can buy them from the archives at about half the price! (Of course you miss out on the Q&A if you have any specific writing questions, but you still benefit from the core webinar)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-39726213072582518112012-09-16T13:22:39.823+02:002012-09-16T13:22:39.823+02:00Hi Judy .. what a great webinar - I hope to get in...Hi Judy .. what a great webinar - I hope to get into doing something tangible with some writing workshops - but may wait til next year ... a few things still to sort out, and need to settle into life again -<br /><br />Good for you .. and this will be a handy reference tool .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-39315981583671182522012-09-16T12:56:52.511+02:002012-09-16T12:56:52.511+02:00JB: Dialogue is my least favourite.

And I agree with you - one of the reasons I talk (and talk and talk) is when I'm most nervous or insecure around strangers. Wish I could stop it and listen more! :)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-21865219499325718662012-09-13T20:58:31.698+02:002012-09-13T20:58:31.698+02:00I love writing dialogue.

It's often the 'sketch' I use to outline a scene, and then build from there.<br /><br />In real life, I think another reason why people talk (okay, maybe it's just me) is to alleviate/mask nervousness, especially around people we (I) don't know well.<br /><br />Good reminders, Judy. Thanks for taking the time to post them! :) J.B. Chicoinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894797553204276281noreply@blogger.com
