My character has a definite accent in my head, a semi-uneducated, southern drawl. What are the judges feelings about writing the accent? (EX: Dropping final "g's", using words like "ain't" and "I seen") I know it should not be distracting or make it hard to tell what is being said, but is it generally frowned upon?

Writing dialogue for characters with accents is definitely not frowned upon, so feel free to include it. Just write the best story you can and you should be fine!
