It depends on what <b>sense-type</b> you are, e.g. my strongest sense is the visual one, my weakest hearing. When I have to read something out loud, I have to concentrate on the reading, that after finishing I'm not able to say anything about the meaning, the significance, the logic or whatever of the text, that I've just read a second before. Another fact is, that I totally lose interest and concentration on audio books! <br />That for, I have to use other techniques for this problem: like visualisation like a movie of what I've read, paragraph for paragraph or chapter for chapter! Some other writers with other dominant senses might use, if the scene <i>feels</i> right!<br /><br /><a href="http://nofretiri.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Karin @ Nofretiris Dream Of Writing</a>Nofretirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501880982112851227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-88129847220999032322011-04-21T16:33:09.028+01:002011-04-21T16:33:09.028+01:00Really good point about dialogue.

@F...Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.<br /><br />@Frankie - I agree. There is a place for the voice in the void, like at the start of a movie when the screen in black and you hear someone speak without knowing who it is, but that effect is easy to misuse or to use for no reason. Even if it's intentional, there should be a purpose to that intention, and there rarely is.mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-21451789820458188222011-04-21T09:57:21.715+01:002011-04-21T09:57:21.715+01:00This ties in directly with a conversation I was ha...This ties in directly with a conversation I was having a couple days ago about why I hate opening with dialog. My point in that discussion was that, when a writer starts with a line of dialog, they already have the scene set in their head. They know who the character is, who they're talking to, they have the context for the line. For the reader, it's a voice in a void.<br /><br />I often read my work aloud. I find there are times where I naturally substitute a word while I am reading in place of what is written, and those substitutions usually improve the flow.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011180576782676523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-44648557845836347392011-04-21T07:44:17.291+01:002011-04-21T07:44:17.291+01:00Hey, Moody.
