Good stuff on the Wallpaper element with lots of wise advise to avoid using it or using it effectively. Great questions to ask yourself as you are writing dialogue found within this lesson along with reminder to 'Omit Needless Words'. Also great and humorous example on forced exposition and an exercise to get you to think out of the box around this concept.

Thanks Robert,
Birddog

I really like this concept. Sort of like words at twenty paces.

mysticpamela: Ok...Done.

Where can we post our samples? I want to see some other peoples' scenes.

PennyJM: Exercise

I'd like to see some postings to clarify what you meant.

mysticpamela: YES! Excerise!

Can we post them? What fun it would be to look over each other's scenes from the "My Litte Shicksa" example. Please, please, can we, please??
Oh, wait I gotta write mine...
