Thanks Kristen for hosting Les, and thanks Les for bringing such valuable information to us. I see now that there’s more to dialogue than I thought. 🙂

I would’ve liked to see this post more about dialogue than the ‘how it happened by accident’ story.

Still, I’d like to read more of what Les has to say on dialogue.

I really enjoyed your previous two posts regarding writing dialogue, but I wonder about this one, in the day and age where folks can self-publish – I don’t even think about submitting my manual so someone else can either reject me because I’m not related to nor a friend of – or accept by happy accident and take 80% of the profit for deigning to ‘publish me’ – I’ll take my chances on keeping 80% of the profit by putting my work out there, marketing for myself and seeing if what I have to write about is both needed and considered art – –
I know this may sound cynical and hateful, perhaps even judgmental of you – truly, it’s not how I’m feeling – I truly appreciate you being willing to write the guest posts with writing tips – but why an article on the ‘luck of publishing’ when authors have the ability to self-publish?
I’m just struggling to understand this kind of thinking in today’s reality of publishing options –

Another enjoyable and educational post. 🙂
