Here’s some optimistic encouragement to Londoners on writing plays. Write the way you speak is fair advice, but I think many creative writers believe they are writing that way when they aren’t. And what if you want a character to sound different than you? What you do then, eh?
(ED: The title for this post reflects my disturbed mindframe.)
I speak like an affected, latinate bureacrat. This advice leaves me cold.
LOL I think I’m disturbed too — I think.
