1. What do you think makes an item (story, poem...) dramatic?
Human conflict. Drama is all about the human conflict between one another and between the demons we face. Our fears are dramatic- with them we create conflict. Love is dramtic. It is a human emotion that can blow into murder, or submit itself to the peace and joy of living. Losing love is dramatic. Emotions are dramtic. The human conflict is drama.
2. Briefly tell me how you add drama to your writing.
To intensify drama in a situation, I focus on the characters emotions. What is happening at that moment? Saddness? Then I intensify the pain
the character feels, or the lonilness. Making the character suffer will help the reader fight harder for the character's survival and that in turn will allow the reader to feel joy when the character wins.
3. Do you have a pattern when it comes to writing? If so, briefly outline it for me. (ex: I start with the plot then create characters ...or the characters come first and then the plot....)
Titles. I always have a line that hits me and I go, WHOA, that would make a good title- and then I write the story.

1. What do you think makes an item (story, poem...) dramatic?
I think you need a storyline with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
2. Briefly tell me how you add drama to your writing. I add drama by being as descriptive as possible. I like to draw the reader from the beginning and a good description of what is to come helps tremendously.
3. Do you have a pattern when it comes to writing? If so, briefly outline it for me.
(ex: I start with the plot then create characters ...or the characters come first and
then the plot....)
I usually start with characters. I have known so many characters througout my life that I have magnitude of them to chose from.

1. What do you think makes an item (story, poem...) dramatic?
For me, it's emotional content. Can you make the emotions come alive. Can I laugh? Cry? Does the writing move me emotionally? That's drama.
2. Briefly tell me how you add drama to your writing.
For this, I'd have to say that drama is a subtle build. First I have to make you care about my characters. Once you do, then you take the emotional journey with them.
3. Do you have a pattern when it comes to writing? If so, briefly outline it for me.
(ex: I start with the plot then create characters ...or the characters come first and then the plot....)
I guess I outline a plot, name my characters and go from there

Hi Tammy! I had a lot of fun answering the questions you posed in this newsletter and reading the other responses gives an insight into what writers usually consider dramatic. Thanks for making this interactive and the plug of my story!
