Re: Dialogue question
Shonda went on to say that her actors are explicit in their reciting of lines, the play every comma and every ellipsis.
i just finished David Mamet's Masterclass and it was hilarious and really insightful.
just started James Patterson's Masterclass this morning on my walkabout. i really like it. he's got great advice and a passionate energy when he talks about writing that every writer should feel.
he feels like one of us when talking about rejection. 31 publishers rejected his first novel and he said most would've stopped submitting after 6 rejections, he said you have to believe in yourself. don't give up.
i have the master access pass and so far i've taken:
Aaron Sorkin
Ron Howard
Jodi Foster
Shonda Rhimes
David Mamet
Gordon Ramsay (two Masterclasses) he has some good insights on being the best, loved it and can apply his attitudes to writing. haha.
James Patterson - in progress
PS: i use direction. i've learned the rules and i know how to break them. that said, i use them only when the are necessary to communicate the story either with a specific stylized approach (how the scene is to be seen visually) or when it's necessary for clarity's sake. and of course, i always write scene transitions. it's one of the small pleasures, really.
