isleofapplepies: One of my least favourite dialogue tropes is when a man tells a woman, “You can’t do that” or “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” and she says, “Why? Because I’m a woman and therefore too weak… Read more

I have an insanely bad time writing dialogue. Any advice on how to write it more smoothly?
This is a toughie! I used to be the same way, actually. And then one day, I suddenly started getting compliments on my dialogue. It was so surreal! The big things here are research and practice. Find books, movies, and… Read moreI have an insanely bad time writing dialogue. Any advice on how to write it more smoothly?

For the anon of this post post/127573075279 – For me, it’s always easier to write out the scenes I see clearly (which is what I’m doing now), write the ending, and then go back to the beginning. Sometimes when I’m stuck on the beginning, it’s because I’m missing key information that’s needed and I find that while writing out other parts. Of course, everyone has different techniques that work for them and finding out what they are can be difficult.
raevenlywrites: writeinspiration: Thank you! 🙂 That’s definitely a good technique for people who don’t like working chronologically! I’m the kind of weirdo who has to do it all in order and then revise later with new information and dialogue.

When I write a scene with more than just a couple characters, I find it hard to include them all. Usually the people with more personality or the people who are more important to the story take over the dialogue. Idk how to put in input from others

Does anyone comment on this? Does anyone try… Read moreWhen I write a scene with more than just a couple characters, I find it hard to include them all.
