I want to know how you characters have been coping over the past year. What did they do last year in lieu of the awards (we didn't have them last year)? Or do they have their own tips ...

Understanding the importance of the dialogue between two characters (or an internal monologue) is crucial for writing conversations in comics.

So over here on Greek TV, there's this very popular drama series that happens to be set in a Greek mainland village in the 1950s, and sells itself as ‘authentically representing an era’. It started off very promising, as a crime drama + family drama kind of story where three ...

On any given day, I usually unwind from a long day at work by logging into Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online. I use my avatar and beautiful sports cars to drive around the imaginary Los Santos, a city based almost entirely on Los Angeles and the outlying communities. It is ...
