In fact I love books that are almost completely dialogue, Thomas Harris for example; The dialogue holding the tale together, William Peter Blatty of course. Yet I have to agree with most of the comments and the article, unless "done well" it can be miserable. II do take a slight exception, however to exposition.

Thanks Kris and Jenny! Much appreciated. I'm doing just that. I just worry an agent will get stuck on the m/s being over 100k words. Stay well!

The EDITS is great for kinesthetic writing, too. It helps mix up the process to see your work through a different lens.

It can be utilized more. And when working on my draft I was floored with how much fun it was to make the characters take over!

It's amazing to find and read these examples. I love it when an author spins a web and I get caught up in great dialogue. I'll have to check this book out.

This is a great technique to make us predict through misdirection. I enjoy this type of suspense. Thanks, Rick, for the suggestion.
