00:12:29	Dory Oda:	there you are!
00:15:22	Martha Artyomenko:	Classroom 3 that is not muted
00:23:50	Lynn Watson:	I just read a book where every tag was said or asked. I was reading as a reader, but I got really tired of them.
00:30:46	Martha Artyomenko:	Do you find though, with using proper jargon, it confuses readers who may not be familiar?
00:31:26	JP Robinson:	Great question Martha. You want to balance it so it's clear from the narrative as to what it means.
00:32:02	JP Robinson:	Either through dialogue tags or by following action so the reader isn't confused. I normally encourage writers to use jargon very sparingly so it doesn't frustrate the reader.
00:33:33	Martha Artyomenko:	I work with a lot of readers, and this can be a common complaint for them, but I like seeing the accuracy!  Thank you.
00:33:53	JP Robinson:	You're quite welcome.
00:38:31	RJ Thesman:	The Dialogue Doctor.com has some great resources about cadence / rhythm in speaking.
00:42:50	Dory Oda:	QUESTION:  So, could/would a type A woman take more ownership? How does personality play into this dynamic?
00:45:38	Dory Oda:	Very helpful. Thank you.
00:45:41	RJ Thesman:	Do men use the contracted form as in "I won't" while women use the longer form? "I will not"
00:53:40	Hannah R. Conway:	20 minutes remaining. 20 minutes.
01:02:53	Hannah R. Conway:	10 minutes remaining. 10 minutes.
01:03:14	Kelly Goshorn:	Since generally speaking women speak more passively, is the use of passive verbs in dialogue more acceptable than in narrative?
01:05:28	Kelly Goshorn:	Yes, thank you, JP!
01:06:39	Kelly Goshorn:	Bahahahaha!
01:09:03	Hannah R. Conway:	5 minutes remaining. 5 minutes.
01:11:41	Hannah R. Conway:	2 minutes remaining. 2 minutes.
01:11:50	Lauren Harrison:	how would a young man, who was raised in an isolated negative situation, with limited education- since childhood - deal with sudden freedom. how would this come out in his speech?
01:12:29	JP Robinson:	Lauren that's a great question. On one hand, if he's been raised by a single mom, he MAY speak more passively b/c of his growing up experience and lack of outside (non-female) exposure.
01:13:40	JP Robinson:	If he's got a instinctive "strong" personality and is a kind of over-achiever, he's likely to carve out his own masculinity and will still speak in a more direct manner.
01:13:47	Courtney Grice:	This has been very helpful. Thank you both.
01:13:47	JP Robinson:	I've seen both done well in literature.
01:14:26	Lauren Harrison:	thank you!
01:14:48	Martha Artyomenko:	Or they can be very socially awkward, talking over people, and have no idea how to hold a conversation until they are educated.
01:14:51	JP Robinson:	Being suddenly emancipated will probably overwhelm him at first which will cause him to use more passive verbs. Over time (to reinforce character growth) you can change his speech so he's speaking more actively and taking more ownership for his actions.
