Line-by-Lines

  1. Line-by-Lines

    Also known as Role-play Notes, Line-by-Lines (LbLs) encompass anywhere from a few scribbled notes of dialogue to plotting entire scenes and even stories by what characters say and do. Some authors prefer to go it alone; but most LbLs, however, occur when two writers (the Author and the Writing Aid/Sounding Board) collaborate to work past Dialogue, Scene, or other Writer's Block.

I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
