Warm Fuzzies #3: i.e. Why I should be a playwright

Here are some of the comments I received as feedback on the piece that my Fiction Seminar class recently workshopped:

This narrator is very real and believable and I can totally see this very scenario unfolding in everyday life.

You are an excellent story-teller and the voice you give your characters rings true. The way that you juxtapose the ordinary and the dliberate dialogue with the frantic and passionate inner-dialogue is a difficult task and yet one which you accomplish wonderfully. The manner by which you meld these two literary elements together is quite impressive.

Your work has an easy quality—I mean it flows easily and smoothly, drawing the reader in. The detail is great.

From what was said in class, I apparently rely almost too heavily on dialogue. “More telling detail,” my professor demands. “The character revelation is in the detail.” But at least I am telling a story people believe and are entertained by—in that manner, I am achieving my goal. However, I definitely have a penchant for dialogue. Perhaps I shall try my hand again at playwriting?
