You bubbled to the top of a search for that movie’s “Life doesn’t always turn out” quote. Totally unrelated, I desperately need to start writing up a script… of actual Life events.

Every time I start thinking about the script, I imagine it most likely having an ongoing narrative that’s supported by complementary thoughts and activities. It never crossed my mind to think of While You Were Sleeping, one of my own all time favorite movies. Then again, maybe that style of presentation is deep seated in my brain BECAUSE of that movie. *grin*

As I was clicking through to read your post, I just knew you would be found talking about multiple characters conversing in between narratives. I am now walking away knowing that internal dialogue is NOT two characters chatting it up. Instead, internal dialogue is the terminology I need to use when describing what I have in mind for telling my own story. #ThankYou!! 🙂

I love that movie too. I’ve seen it a hundred times! What’s so great about the moment when Lucy says, “I was gonna marry him” is that’s her inciting incident. If the nurse hadn’t overheard her, Lucy would have went back to her lonely life in the toll booth. But instead, fate intervenes and the nurse assumes Lucy is the fiance. Great moment. Did you know that movie was originally written with the woman in the hospital bed and the man as the one who saved her? The movie couldn’t get the green light that way because the male character seemed too much like a stalker. They writers switched the roles around and viola! Magic!

It took me forever to stop writing ” s/he said after my character spoke to another in a scene. It just sounded right. Now to learn to use internal dialogue/ narration right.

Thank you ladies for this post. And I am one of the few that hasn’t seen the movie yet.

Thanks!
