10 minutes to #Scriptchat! 5-6 pm PT | 8-9 pm ET Let's talk about dialogue. Tips and tricks of how you write ... and rewrite. #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

It's #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK! We're talking about dialogue. But first, shout out your wins for the week! #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

My win ... hard to say, but I think I reached a breaking point and have a plan to create some boundaries in 2026 so I can carve out more writing time. #scriptchat

Sorry I didn't send out more promo posts for #scriptchat tonight. I always have plans to do that, but ... life. That crazy life ... always gets in the way.

Looks like a light crowd tonight, but let's get at a dialogue chat. What tips do you use to write realistic dialogue? For me, I love to eavesdrop in coffeeshops, or in lines at the market. Anytime I can listen to people, I do. #scriptchat

Reading the dialogue out loud helps tremendously, too. I have cringed quite often at what I've jotted down for my characters to say in early drafts. Yikes. #scriptchat

Sidenote: I had to just look to see why Tylenol is trending ... 🤓 #scriptchat

Also, am I the only one who juggles making dinner while doing #scriptchat? I need a clone.

I think my post was too long to show up in the #scriptchat feed, so here it is.

When you're writing dialogue in those final drafts, do you think about creating a couple of memorable lines of dialogue? I mean, think of the dialogue you always remember ... "I see dead people." "You can't handle the truth!" etc. #scriptchat

Another trick I do in the later drafts is read just the dialogue out loud of each character separately to be sure I wasn't repetitive but was also consistent in their voice/tone. #scriptchat

When talking about dialogue, we can't forget the ol' monologue ... thoughts? #scriptchat

Also curious, what are some of the movies/tv shows you think nail the art of dialogue? #scriptchat

As we wrap up tonight's #scriptchat, shout out new topics you want to cover now that "Open Topic" summers are done. What's on your minds or what do you need advice on?

Thanks, all! Shoot me topic ideas throughout the week, and we'll land on a new one for next #scriptchat Have a great week, and PING ME for a #writingsprint this week!

Finally getting to watch the recording of Cecilia (Cece) Lyra, Agent’s class, Writing Emotions & Relationships. One of her statements really stuck out— “We feel before we think.” Remember that as you craft your readers’ experience. Her classes are amazing. #writingworkshop
