BE INSPIRED:
Chris Rayner (@ReadSoMuch) wrote “Front Seat Driver” with lots of dialogue. She managed to capture the real words her daughters said when she was in the car with them earlier this month. But she didn’t write with just dialogue… she elaborated in other ways, which really brought this small moment in time to life. Click here to see how she relied heavily on dialogue, but not just dialogue, to recreate this slice of her life.
