I’ve always known that I have an extremely unique writing style, and it doesn’t suit everyone. However, I start to feel a little guilty when I realize how different it is; That’s because 1) I always write my stories in series, if I don’t I just won’t be that attached to the material and 2) the events within these series are mostly separated into long streams of dialogue between characters. I read an article the other day titled “How to avoid turning your novel into a screenplay.” It made me feel guilty because I talked about a lot of the things I do; I know I need to work on my images / world building / world development, but I prefer to do it through character interaction than through metaphorical descriptions. I’m not a poet! If anything, I’m more of a screenwriter than an author, because I’m only describing what I feel will be added to scenes where dialogue is always the main character. Basically I’ve accepted this fact about myself, heck I call my chapters “episodes”, of course I know my novels are “script-y”. But I don’t always want them to be. I want to improve on the description, I want to help my reader feel like I am in the scenes with my character, but I don’t know if I know how! If I already know how, I find it strange that my words resemble anyone else’s. My roles resemble anyone else’s. I am very inspired by the way Ray Bradbury writes; a lot of his short stories, especially, have a lot of dialogue, and it’s poetic in a way that makes sense, which I’m a huge fan of! But of course I’m not as good at describing as he is (no one can be another author; they have to be his, and I get it, of course). It’s hard not being able to relate to any of the other books I see. Last point; There is a rule I heard that states that if there are more than six lines of dialogue in a row, with no description of the world / world building in between, you run the risk of losing your readers’ attention. However, I feel that if I followed this rule, my novels would be incredibly limited; and I don’t want to limit myself, I want to add to what I already know. There’s a good chance that this rule refers to the character’s action, to sections of dialogue that are just a bunch of quotes that end with “he said, she said”, and that gets boring, of course. But I agree that if you describe actions with a sentence or two (between dialogue), it adds to the story and realism. We do a lot more than we talk, after all! But by eliminating as much talk as most writers seem, I feel like that also takes away a lot of humanity. But that’s the way I am, I guess I’m that weird!
