You are hurting me!" It grabs your attention. But like you said you don't want to open with dialog so you get stuck with trying to write the scene and then writing in that dialog.<br /><br />Jeremy yanked her arm in rage after they got out of the car. He was furious at her confession of infidelity.<br />"Stop. You are hurting me!" Angela said as she pulled away with tears rolling down her face.<br /><br />It doesn't have the same impact although intriguing. Sometimes you just have to write and then fill in the other bits much later otherwise you get stuck.J.L. Murpheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782355786883006411noreply@blogger.com
