I thought it was more compelling to have more dialog, and, as Donald Maas says, dialog is action (except for the way some writers write it - not you!)<br />I hope I answered your question.<br />As for Groundhog Day - one of my faves, BTW, I think the idea is that now we will post more fiction.<br />Do things seem to stay the same. I'd have to say for me, they change quite a lot. In fact, I find it hard to keep up. I think if it actually stayed the same it might be a little relief for me.<br />Enjoy reading your writing, as usual. At least this time I didn't worry quite as much for your life.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-35466024073584594092010-12-07T18:18:52.869-05:002010-12-07T18:18:52.869-05:00Vacation?

Now that would have added another dimension.

So that's the real reason for the visit to Libya -- a "working" vacation.<br /><br />I'll have to wait before I comment on "Groundhog Day," at least until I have a woman like Andie McDowell in my arms.Gregory Marshall Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046473659340557062noreply@blogger.com
