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.

And dialogue, I'm good at it, and it's because it's the only thing you have to work with in TV writing.

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!

I love writing dialogue, and I think a lot of my writing is visual and very cinematic.

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.

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.

I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books.

I know I'm not a great writer. I'm an extremely gifted oral communicator, but when it comes to writing, I'm just a beginner.

From the very beginning, I always tried to make dialogue flow comfortably; I always did that to make it seem more authentic.
