RE: #fastandfurious | The Ink Well Fast and Furious Festival - Day One

My entry... can't believe I'm first off the bat for once in my life 😂 Usually I'm late for everything.

I've added some insights learned through the process in my post, and also tips I've learned in the past for dialogue. I didn't manage my time very well though, it took about 2 hours all in all after messing around in GIMP to create the title image.

I had a lot of fun writing characters in response to your dialogue though 🙂

Hi soyunasantacruz.

I love the way you have explored the motivations of the three character, especially the two gossiping women. Their character traits elaborates on why they might be gossiping about the third.

And your dialogue effectively portrayed how a boss sometimes doesn't see how they have created a problem by overloading a worker... they so rarely see or admit it though.
This is why after my last job I vowed I would only work for myself from then onward 😂

Hi Jayna

Great character descriptions. I particularly liked the way you built a past between the three women. I tried to intimate similar between two of my characters, but I think I might have been too vague. There was more of a 'mean girls' or ladies vibe going on in mine 😂

The dialogue is fantastic. It builds really nicely to a real mystery cliffhanger type moment, leaving the reader wondering 'what is this disease'? Will Mr Caldwell be OK? The descriptive actions also progressed and informed the dialogue perfectly. Very nice!

Hi dwixer

You effectively build a picture of the social standings and friendships between the three women in your character study.

I also liked the dialogue section and how it shows the way people often become conceited upon winning professional awards.

Hi kaerpediem. How are you? I hope you're well.

I liked how you filled out the back story of the three women, especially the first gossiping woman, so different to mine who were both pretty mean spirited people 😂

Interesting that we both painted the politician who had had 'work done' as a good person. I wonder how accurate that is to reality... a politician being a good person 🤣 Wishful thinking maybe.

The dialogue was clear and concise and left me with a strong impression that it was two family members talking about another family member who is considered the black sheep.

Nice work!

Hey iamraincrystal 👋 How's things? It has been a while.

Great character descriptions; a psychic, a bookworm and a political powerhouse. Quite a combination 😉

It is interesting the way you continued the dialogue from theinkwell post, sticking with those characters and further developing it to express the back story you created.

Nice 🙂
