When I write in the first-person, my main character can provide a fairly detailed description/interpretation of events that makes detailed dialogue exchanges sometimes seem a little out of place. Maybe my style of writing makes dialogue less necessary (hostile and background events usually reflecting some part of the protagonist's personality). | |
