The title says it all, folks. I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.
So I’ll share mine first!
MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed. A little self-protective. Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.

Hey Ben! I’m Ella. Welcome, welcome! Ooo, cool! You want to write more action in books? Cool. I like to write YA dystopian and thriller/suspense mainly. My WIP synopsis is:

My advice? Always check the recent topics tab, and comment on whatever recent threads you wish. Oh yeah, and when replying to people, copy and paste their tag from underneath their name on the left. It helps.
On that note, do you think…[Read more]
