For me, the dialogue is the easiest part of writing. It just always seems so obvious what a character will say. Maybe it's because I talk too much!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And dialogue, I'm good at it, and it's because it's the only thing you have to work with in TV writing.
I'm terrible at story and structure, but I'm not so bad at writing dialogue.
It's much easier to read the stories that have a lot of dialogue; of course, they flow much more easily into speech.
Sometimes I find it tiresome to write actions and describe the scene in a very intricate way so that every crew member understands where we are going - that I can find a little bit long and tiresome. But dialogue is just all my life. There's no way I could ever be challenged, not challenged, but I'm always so happy to write dialogue.
From the very beginning, I always tried to make dialogue flow comfortably; I always did that to make it seem more authentic.
In real life, people fumble their words. They repeat themselves and stare blankly off into space and don't listen properly to what other people are saying. I find that kind of speech fascinating but screenwriters never write dialogue like that because it doesn't look good on the page.
If there's anything I'm keen to get better at in my writing, then it's the writing of prose as opposed to the writing of dialogue.
I think I'm very strong at dialogue, I think I'm very strong in characterization. I think sometimes I use dialogue and character work to cover weaknesses in my plotting.
I love writing dialogue, and I think a lot of my writing is visual and very cinematic.
Honestly, dialogue is a weird area for me. It just comes naturally; I know I'm quite good at it, but I can't actually tell you why or how in any detail.
