One filter construction I tend to use anyway is "He realized that..." Sometimes the personality of the character fits with "Wait a minute...the butler was the *real* culprit!" and sometimes it just doesn't. :)Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937390557356997344.post-16780411566922179292011-11-15T10:21:42.293-08:002011-11-15T10:21:42.293-08:00Good advice here.

Much as I dislike filter words and phrases, sometimes they're necessary to convey a shade of meaning that just putting the thought directly in the narration (my default mode) can't get across.Jordan McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937390557356997344.post-29132848860543891142011-11-15T09:51:28.500-08:002011-11-15T09:51:28.500-08:00Wow, thanks, Javed!Wow, thanks, Javed!Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937390557356997344.post-53547354911766365022011-11-15T06:31:10.380-08:002011-11-15T06:31:10.380-08:00Amazing List!
