But yeah, was far better as a movie. :)<br /><br />I prefer thoughts portrayed as obvious thoughts with a he/she thought if its not clear enough without it. Italics is ok when its only an occasional thought here and there and not something used frequently throughtout a novel. <br /><br />In this case italics was used for journal entry type sections but they went on for pages sometimes. It would have been clear enough with a scene break and an opening line to establish the scene intention.Jean Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047709505502621618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955548665653773708.post-31495638616627086832011-02-27T14:20:13.453-05:002011-02-27T14:20:13.453-05:00Yeah, history was my worst subject at school.

Such a difference reading a play in a classroom, then seeing it acted out as it was meant to be.<br /><br />BTW, does this mean you prefer showing thoughts in italics? Or simply indicated with "he/she thought"? Folks seem divided about this.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.com
