Which is the painful bit. It's either research it or watch Parliament Question Time and I'm just not that dedicated.... Also, a lot of fallacies are used by everyone. They're just not said in the same way. Like: "If it was meant to be that way, then it'd be that way, since it's not, then it's wrong to do it that way."<br /><br />The really fun part of this research is how often I can point out: "Wait, I've seen someone use that against me!" Or worse.... "I've done that one before, haven't I?"<br /><br />As for Joss Whedon ... yeah, he is golden.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196407140476865709.post-6378302620379148832010-12-15T00:31:07.353+10:302010-12-15T00:31:07.353+10:30Dialogue is rough.

I spent a lot of time paying attention to how they structure their dialogue. Screenplays are all dialogue, so reading those might help you.<br /><br />I found Mad Men, Battlestar Gallactica and anything written by Joss Whedon to have exceptional dialogue.Stephanie Loréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512485557711771802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196407140476865709.post-55611860205602555412010-12-15T00:10:19.250+10:302010-12-15T00:10:19.250+10:30Yay!

It'll really help me (hopefully) with my dialogue because I'm about to venture into a world of nobility, mages, and politics, and I need to know how folk argue with each other, fail at arguing, and win over the ignorant masses.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196407140476865709.post-22067806311112481862010-12-15T00:03:07.148+10:302010-12-15T00:03:07.148+10:30Really like this series.
