on dialog

I have yet to come across a book that really explains DIALOG well. They seem
to cover structure and style very well, but DIALOG, nada. I think if I can
offer a tip to other
writers out there it's too read a lot of books and screenplays to get a feel
for how
others who came before you use dialog in a meaningful way as to indirectly
say direct
things and make an eloquent story. I would be very interested in taking a
look at a book
that dedicated itself to DIALOG and think there is a need for one in the
market.

Cheers,

Remo Rosati, author
DIVINE INTERVENTION (fiction)
now available at:
amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and borders.com

because it gives him a nice little excuse to spam his new novel.

"I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen"

If he writes fiction the way he writes about writing, he doesn't stand
a chance.
