The quotes are from letter, though they are only a few words long. But, because this happens more than once, I like you bit of advice to write what the character is doing while they read this. Not only do you then get the content of the letter, but you also get the characters reaction or what their feeling while they read it. Thanks!Cindy R.

Info dumps are dangerous and boring and kill almost all the momentum you had going. <BR/><BR/>I also hate it when the block quoted letter is in a different font, as if somebody wrote.

I found your website from a google search on Inciting Incidents. I've recently posted on my blog using your article as a reference. I'm so happy to have found your blog! Looks like a great place for me to visit frequently.<BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind my using your quotes in my post. You had so many great things to say!Michelle D.
