Hello, all,
I seem to be wallowing in self-doubt right now. Questions like who cares? Is this going to appeal to YA? Should I quit wasting my time? are flying through my head so fast I can't get back to finishing the rewrite of my rough draft.
But when I can quit playing spider solitaire and actually work, I'm now wondering if my story has too much dialogue in it? I never thought about it much before, but now it just seems like that's something else to add to the little whispers haunting me.
I know we're supposed to show and not tell, and the dialogue is doing that, but I just can't seem to convince myself there isn't maybe too much talking going on.
So how does one figure out a happy balance? Any advice?
Thanks again.
Sissy
