I've been on this website for too long, and at this point, I couldn't leave if I wanted to (hockey side blog @sinbinned)

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

looking. at you

[unheardoracle]

Your dialogue is stiff because everyone is being too honest

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

Subtext is where tension lives.

sometimes after a social interaction you just have to tell yourself, "well I didn't exactly cover myself in glory that time" and then move on

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

Love going to bed with a new, good daydream scenario fresh in my mind. Like yes girl, movie night!
