However I find it interesting that it isn't popular to advise on specific lines of dialogue - it would never occur to me (a novice) that that's stepping on someone's toes! Sometimes a line just doesn't sound right or natural, and advising on individual lines can affect the overall structure. Do you think there's ever a time when that sort of comment is ok? And if so how would you present it?PenEnvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212666620019044754noreply@blogger.com
