A New Way to Look at Dialogue
from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie
I love dialogue. It is one of my favorite things to write. I am not sure of the entire reason behind that. I think part of it is because all fiction writing seems to direct itself toward dialogue, meaning that it is usually some sort of dialogue that creates the climax of the story. Another reason I love dialogue is because it has never been something difficult for me. It has been something very natural, and I have found it to be the case that dialogue flows into my mind without the need to try very hard. Recently, I have learned that this isn’t the case for everyone. So, on today’s episode of How to Write Good, I am going to be talking about how I approach dialogue and why I think you learn to write it as easily as anything else.
