I'm writing a first rough pass of a new story just now, and I'm writing quickly to catch the bones of it. I know that, in this draft, all my characters speak much the same; I'm not worrying about this, I'll rewrite later to give them individual idioms, ways of speaking, gestures, senses of humour.

Do you do this in your first pass, or do your characters come to you already with their own idiosyncratic patterns of speech?

It's about a God, a very old dragon, and how you reform a really sick society. None of what I've written yet is very good, but I have the bones of the whole story, including a satisfactory ending.

Anyone fancy being an alpha-reader?
