Eager to learn from you.
I am anticipating a great webinar and I agree with you re the character dialogue. Thanks for your upcoming period of empowerment. i have completed my second book so I want to ensure that I can meet "world standard" so I aim to implement changes if needs be. By the way do you give advice on this on this site. (I am new here)
Looking to further consider in deepening my characters in my biography. My book is endeavouring to embed my life into the dynamic environment and what contribution I made to that environment, and what subsequent impact it had to grow a country town into a international city in Australia over a 40 year period (1977 - 2017).
I would be very greatful if I benefit from the lecture. Though I have finished my first book but it will be a useful instrument to guide me in my other book works. So I am hopping well to hera from you.
My first book will not be out till February, but it focuses on characters who will continue on in sequels. The Enchanted Adventures of Christian Nature is built upon these characters. I am a novice and know nothing. I eagerly look forward to listening to your wisdom as far as building the depth of mt characters personalities. Thank you very much.
