Okay, it's lunchtime here in the UK so I'll kick off #FeedbackFriday! This is an opportunity for writers to ask and answer questions or give specific feedback on short pieces of work. My current writing dilemma: I've got a short story with four teenage characters (set in the 1990s) and I'm happy with the narrative voice but just can't get the dialogue right. So please send me your #dialoguetips! πŸ™
