Because I had to cancel the work session on Sunday (due to illness), I wanted to touch on dialogue a bit for the prompt.

Pick your favorite creature (real or otherwise) Then multiply by three. Have them talk to one another. Create a scene for dialogue.

Things to remember in your dialogue:

“…keep in mind the fact that character dialogue can serve to do more than just express in a straightforward manner what your characters are thinking and doing. Dialogue is full of mysteries (that which nobody knows), secrets (that which one character knows), and lies (that which one character knows and that other characters thinks he or she knows). The best way I’ve found to integrate this into dialogue in my own stories is simply to keep it in mind. Make sure that on every page with dialogue, someone is lying, or keeping a secret, or verbally expressing (or finally resolving) a mystery of some sort.” (From “Starve Better – Surviving the Endless Horror of the Writing Life” by Nick Mamatas)

So make sure in this scene you have a secret, a lie and a mystery.

Go write. No more than 1500 words. Remember we’re all prepping for our Word Jazz in September.

Don’t forget we bid farewell to April LaLande,  one of our first members, a founding board member and all-around great literary supporter, at the North Bend Bar and Grill Monday night (July 18) at 6:30 p.m. We’ll be taking over the general area of Table #13 in the Pub.

Warning:  Stay away from Meadowbrook Farm area this weekend if at all — they are expecting up to 30,000 people in our little valley this weekend for the Warrior Dash. Unless of course, you like pressin’ the flesh and watching people fly through the mud. Just be aware, traffic tie ups are expected. Remember your alternate ways around our valley that doesn’t include Boalch Avenue or even 202 from the NB Bridge to Meadowbrook (by the Milk Barn).

And now your moment of Writing Zen:

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~ Lord Byron
