Warren Ellis Interrogation

21 February, 2007 (15:46) | Inspiration, Reference, Weblinks | By: M Kitchen

I recently asked Warren Ellis these questions, and below is his response.

Q. What is the best bit of advice you’ve received, (comic book and/or prose related) which has stuck in your mind throughout your career? And who gave it to you?

Warren. Huh. Probably something Paul Gravett said to me back when I was a kid: the hardest thing in the world is to tell a story so clearly that everyone can understand it.

Q. What is the single greatest trick to writing dialogue “in character”?

Warren. What does the character love? What does the character hate?
