Darcy–Here are the results from page 33:
4,4,21,9,11,11,6,4,11,7,5,2,9,22,9,21,13,6,5,5,5,3,12,9,9,8,3,10.

After reading your posts it is easy for me to discern the differences between the voices, (vocabulary and sentence construction) of the two characters interacting on this page.

Thanks for your blog,
Sarah

Pam–Looks like some good variety. But not the extremes that Schmidt and Raskin have. Shrug. Not that you MUST have those extremes, of course. But your writing would probably feel much different from theirs.

Interesting, indeed.

Darcy–I did this for the first chapter of my mg novel, which is only one page long. Here are the results:
15, 17, 9, 7, 3, 3, 11, 12, 10, 11, 6, 5, 11, 15, 11, 2, 15, 9, 3, 2.

Interesting!
