week nine

We did some writing excersises on dialogue. The excersise went like this. Each character could only say three words everytime we spoke, and the point was to not get everything in, just get the basic message across. For example: John pulled the dog leash from a hanger, put it on his dog, and opened the door to give the dog a walk. Next sentence, simplified. John walked his dog. It improves your skills in dialogue because you get don't get to complicated in what you write, and you leave some for the reader to think about themselves. If you write something like a movie script, writing every single action, it might be annoying for the reader.
