These are amazing and so much help. I can't tell you how glad I am to have found such a talented and approachable teacher like you. Simple, straight out instruction and criticism that gets right to the point of the matter without loads techno-babble that just goes in one ear and out the other. Thank you so much. WOW!

Wouldn't it undermine that premise if you used physical foreshadowing (like temperature changes) that the character really should have noticed? Thanks.

It's exactly what I needed to see (and put into practice) in my WIP. Thank you so much for doing these, and the great examples. You gave concrete ways to make the dialogue relevant to the scene, something I have heard before but never really seen demonstrated in this way. This was very helpful! Thanks!

The Element Connection Crash gave me one of those WOAH! moments: a way to set the scene without exposition. Thanks Holly! I really enjoyed this crash test, Holly.
