My rapid BOOM-BOOM-BOOM that closed the game signaled my win to every room of the apartment. Also giving it away: our ACTUAL voices, which were probably pretty loud. #missingthepoint -The Second Roommate

Dude, you're totally ruining the narrative tension of my almost-pretty-accurate post about us. Plus, it's known far and wide that I play darts in complete silence. - The First Roommate

Talk about misdirecting your audience... that first line threw me: "The game of cricket is kind of boring." I know many would agree, but then Rob spends the rest of his dispatch talking about darts. Freudian slip? Human error? Was someone called Jiminy whispering in his ear?

The way I understand voice and style is through the themes touched upon (this we know after we've written a few things already), the way they're approached (the choice of the plot. For instance, no matter how hard I try, 75% of the time I end up with a bit of surreal if not altogether supernatural in it somewhere - doesn't matter if it's thriller, comedy or drama - can't help it, it just happens, that's how my mind works), the way it's visualised (that's playing director, granted, and maybe it's cheating but hey that's also when people tell you: I can so see it! Exactly. That's the point), the way it's written (again, something that appears after writing loads. The choice of words, the structure of sentences, the sense of humour etc). Even if compared to the whole finished film, I don't want to call a screenplay flat, it shouldn't be. I think it should be full of life, give the readers the emotions that the audience will go through, and be a piece of writing that we can read over and over again without getting bored because that's what's going to happen, right? Also, agreed with David. Rob, what was that about cricket?? ;)
