Upmarket fiction straddles the line between literary and commercial fiction.

There are Points of View till hell won’t have them. And we are going to talk about a few of them. We have been discussing character building, settings, symbols and images. We discussed dialogue, subjects and subtexts. On Sunday we hit on Action.
Sunday’s topic is Action. We’ve talked about scene set ups and dialogue. Action can be huge or it could be one more pebble in the hiker’s shoe. For every action there is a reaction, even if the reader doesn’t see it. Reaction may pile up.
We have talked a bit about building character, okay, we talk about it often. We have also talked about building scenes. This week we will talk about dialogue.
