Hello!! Here today I have Piper and Todd to introduce one another through dialogue.
"I still don't understand why we have to have night games over here."
"Face it, Pipes. Your house is weird. And people kind of think you're weird because you never show them otherwise."
"Gee, thanks. Your new friends told you I'm weird?"
"They didn't have to."
"If I'm so weird, maybe you should just hang out with them instead."
"Don't be like that. You know I've always wanted to be on the team. You just have to put yourself out there. Talk to them instead of waiting for them to talk to you."
"Talk to them, sure. The kids who spend every second of their lives putting me down."
"I think they want to know if it's all true. The secret passageways. The floating door."
"But they can already see that. I mean, it's only on the side of my house."
"Come on, let them know who you really are. They think you're some closet freak."
"I don't know."
"They'll be nice. They're really cool."
"If you say so."
Ta dum! There's a glimpse of Todd and Piper!!
Dialogue Introduction - I'm STILL Hearing Voices!!
I'm Hearing Voices
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
I'm a mother, a Mormon and a musician, and I squee over all things pink and sparkly. I write books about doors that shouldn't be opened and enchanted tears that shouldn't be shed. I'm the proud wife of a farmer, and we live in a dinky Idaho farm town where the chances of getting stuck in tractor-induced traffic jams are highly likely. I believe anything can be made better with a good attitude and maybe a book packed away for those just-in-case times.

I'm hearing British accents, but I'm thinking that's because I just watched part of Mansfield Park.
i dont trust them either. its tough being different! good job!
I'd be hesitant to open up, too! : )
Ooooo... Interesting, Cort! You mean, you've got projects up your sleeve that I don't know about??? *gasp* Can't wait to find out more! :D
It's perfect! Love the dialogue, and love the relationship. It's so "spot on" with how high school is too. Love this!
Floating door, huh? Great concept. High school is a bit of a jungle, isn't it? Roland
Ooo, sounds like one of the characters in one of the manuscripts I'm writing. A good person that people just don't understand.
Very cool!
I feel like I'm eavesdropping on a real conversation! Very fun and real :) Fabulous job!

Fun conversation - if I was Piper I'd take great pleasure in shunning the bullies at school! ;P
This is one of a few piece of dialogue I have found in the blogfest challenge that I wished could be just a little bit longer! I am hungry for more :D

They sound like really young characters. Are they young? If so, you've got a great voice for young ones.
This made me really curious, wanting to know more. I thought they sounded young too, very natural and real sounding. Great job!
I'm very intrigued about her house. Great job! : )
Hmmm, I'd like to know why she's so different and what is UP with that house!
I'm so curious about the house. Interesting.
Love this Cortney! I'm totally intrigued and I was all disappointed when I got to the end cuz I'm like... Wait! I want to know more! :)
