Inspiring and encouraging quotes for writers.
Writing good dialogue isn’t easy. It isn’t just a matter of recording real talk on paper; most real talk is disjointed, repetitive, fragmented and sometimes barely comprehensible when recorded on tape. Good written dialogue is what real talk out to be, but seldom is.
