I received some interesting comments on the previous post on this topic from my good friend and a fellow Director of Silver Pen Perry McDaid.
Perry pointed out that I had erred in my statement “We generally don’t talk while engaged in violent action.” I had also said that dialogue and actions shown as happening almost simultaneously is not a reasonable expectation. After thinking about this and weighing Perry’s remarks, I need to rephrase and clarify some of what I said.
First, let’s look at the brief scene I wrote my PREVIOUS POST.

(1) “How dare you call me a slut!” Sheila said, grabbing a plate and throwing it at me.

Exactly what do I mean by “writing in afterthoughts?” Consider this short scenario:
(1) “How dare you call me a slut!” Sheila said, grabbing a plate and throwing it at me.
“Well, what would you call having sex with my roommate after I went to work? Pity sex? So he wouldn’t feel left out?” I said, ducking, the plate hitting the floor behind me and shattering.
