Hi all! I was reading on Newsarama a interview from Mr. Ellis about how he writes,and noticed this paragraph. Gail is in good company here :)
Quoting Mr Ellis from his interview:
In comics, Garth has always been the best dialogue writer. His process should be everyone’s: he reads the stuff out loud until it works. Grant understands the whole form, though, and brings in influences from music and theatre and, yes, slogan writing. Peter David, when he’s on his game, is instinctively brilliant at dialogue, as is Joss, who cranks off one-liners I’d kill for. I think Gail’s great strength is probably dialogue: I like watching her play with sentences and exchanges, the odd little inversions she pulls off. Brett Lewis does incredible work with language in WINTER MEN — he’s probably the guy working right now whose sensibility is closest to David Milch.
=) Just thought you might wanted to read the above.
The rest of the article is good to:http://blog.newsarama.com/2006/10/16/writers-on-writing-warren-ellis/#more-1390
See you sometime later!
