GEM 1: You're not reproducing actual speech- youre translating the sound and rhythm of what a character says into words. You're putting down on paper what your sense of how the characters speak.
GEM 2: "The better you know the characters, the more you'll see things from their point of view."
GEM 3: "There shouldn't be just a single important character in your work for whom you have compassion."
I think that these gems will help me with my stories. I tend to pick a main character and focus on developing that one charaacter so i think Gem 3 will be helpful. I need to feel as involved with each character rather than just focusing on the one main character and not devleoping them all. I also think i should put more time into understanding my secobnd and third characters so that I can adequately deveolpe them. lastly the first gem will help me because I want the diagloue to be real and not forced.
