"This is the thing I am meant to do."

The thought I had in the 4 years writing my debut novel #projectwisteria

My dream is to tell stories. As an aspiring author, a filmmaker, or an actor, I will make my childhood dreams come true and play make-believe my whole life ✨️

I wanted to share my answer to a question from a fellow writer on my YouTube page about dialogue in #fantasy

1.Read aloud

2.Remember subtext & physicality 70% - 93% of communication is nonverbal according to Little et al. (2015)

3.Situate (class, location, formality)
