Dialogue That Sounds Real
Many writers accidentally make dialogue sound stiff or unnatural.
Today we’re practicing natural conversation.
🔥Your Challenge
Write a short conversation between two characters where:
• one character wants something
• the other character is hiding something
But neither of them says it directly.
Think of how real people talk. 🗣️
We often:
• avoid the real topic
• speak indirectly
• say one thing but mean another
Example:
Person A: “Did you go to the meeting yesterday?” Person B: “I had a lot going on.”
The tension sits between the lines.
Rules
🔥 Write at least 10 lines of dialogue
🔥 Use minimal description
🔥 Let the tension show through conversation
Bonus Challenge
Add one small physical action that reveals what the character is feeling.
