Another informative read, thanks DG!

The Light and Dark characters I've used recently, I had to go back several times, the dialogue - not my fave - was very flat, sounded stilted, so I used my memories of the way my nan and grandad used to talk to each other, always winding each other up, hope that's helped to bring them a little more to life....and they did make the best stew!

smiley - cheers

That's a smiley - cool technique, thanks for sharing that! It's a great way - and yeah, I loved the idea of having two sidereal entities bicker like that. I think dialogues are much harder than monologues, too - having a memory of exchanges sure helps. smiley - smiley
