Dialogue is the place that books are most alive and forge the most direct connection with readers. It is also where we as writers discover our characters and allow them to become real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A book is always a dialogue with other readers and other books.
I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly.
Dialogue means debates and everyone's point of view.
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.
I see people in terms of dialogue and I believe that people are their talk.
That's why people read books. You get to have the real conversation, as opposed to the pseudo-conversations we have in everyday life.
I'm not at all sure dialogue is meant to advance the story; I know that sometimes it is the story.
Once you see the entertainment world from both sides, you really get a greater understanding of how it all operates. As an actor going into screenwriting, I was able to understand what type of dialogue feels natural and what an actor could actually say.
Sometimes, what's not said is just as important to the writing as what is said. As a writer, we have our voices heard. I think that, at oftentimes, the ability to allow the dialogue to recede properly into the world of the film is also a really valid sort of way to be a writer, I think.
It's much easier to read the stories that have a lot of dialogue; of course, they flow much more easily into speech.
