I edited my completed WIP chapter one more time and posted it, yay! Now I'm making notes for the next one.

I tend to use alternating POV with a number of characters besides my main character. Also, many of my characters speak without using contractions.

Oh that's interesting about the lack of contractions in dialogue. Is there a certain setting you tend to write in where that's more prevalent? On review I do have a character I often write in that way myself (he's a foreigner so his language tends to be more textbook formal than most others).

The setting is such that most people speak rather formally, so it's easy to make them sound formal simply by not using contractions!

For sure!
