That was quite a read. Unfortunately I was wrong about the ending...again. I just never see them coming. Maybe I had an idea eventually that the way it ended was how it ended, but I can't remember. (There's irony there you will catch on to if you've read The Pact)
For this final blogpost I think I will discuss the use of dialogue.
Dialogue is interesting because it is the only time you get to really see a character for who they are. It's like the saying how actions speak louder than words but in this case words speak louder than thoughts.
Towards the end of The Pact was just dialogue. It was of a lawyer asking questions of the witness and a back and forth that was easily understood by the reader.
The struggle that arises when attacking dialogue is writing what you know. In order to speak as someone you must really know who they are. Even depending on the kind of lawyer a person is dictates how they will present opening and closing statements, and even how they interact with the witness.
An example of this is how a lawyer, Jordan, made those he questioned feel more comfortable, compared to the prosecutor. It doesn't only reflect on who the character is but allows real people to realize how they must be perceived in everyday life.
Thank you all and it has been fun keepin' up with the kardashi- i mean my blog.
