Optional discussion: Dialogue
For some people, writing dialogue is easy and the words sound natural. Others struggle with it. How do you make sure your people don’t sound like robots, or overly-verbose writers? Do you work on giving different characters different voices? Does it flow naturally from your fingertips, or do you have to think about it a lot?
