Do you feel the words you write?

Yes, and I also know when they're wrong, when I've put my own feelings into the dialogue rather than letting the characters say what they need to say. They each have their own voice. It's part of the magic of writing, isn't it? :-)

I believe I do... When I was writing the dialogue of my character when he was protesting against gender inequality, I felt angry myself.... :)
