[font=Times New Roman, serif]So I started to flesh out some characters. Get a sense of some natural exchanges in speech. Then came time to try and look at it from a first time reader's perspective. Well I was trying to portray something French, thinking I had an edge as it is my second language, and I couldn't help laughing. Unfortunately it was suppose to be a fairly serious scene. [/font]
[font=Times New Roman, serif]What made me laugh? Well I guess it seemed a bit too stereotypical or forced, like you'd find in a farce. But I couldn't really figure out how to approach it in a satisfactory way. So does anyone have any ideas how to maintain the integrity of the auditory experience of the reader, while avoiding what might come across as distasteful or humorous?[/font]
[font=Times New Roman, serif]Oh, and nice to meet you all. [/font]
