BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 You guys want to do a writing exercise together? I've been wanting to do some dialogue practice. We could each do 5 pages on a theme, and...

BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 ...and I could post my five for you to see, then look at some of the better ones on writing excuses and talk over strengths/weaknesses.

BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 Write a 5-10 page two character dialogue with no tags or blocking. Dialogue only. Try to evoke character, conflict, and plot with this only.

BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 Include: A problem, 2 distinct individuals, a fantasy/sf element. Avoid: long monologues, exposition. Use context, not explanations.

BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 Inspiration: http://bit.ly/DEda8 Be done Sunday. I'll try & get the TWG Forum back up for posting. If not, post on your blog and send a link

shnar Tue Dec 14@brandonsandrson as in Script format? No prose? Or simple prose but mostly dialog?

BrandonPSA Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson humor me... define tags or blocking

BrandonSandrson Tue Dec 14 Another excellent example, this one from @JRVogt: http://bit.ly/g1Pp9e Make yours shorter if you want. 5 pgs is just what I'll post.

BrandonPSA Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson also... define "page".. maybe a charcacter count/page

TymCon Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson Can we do it in a script format. E.g: Cian: X just stabbed me, Owen: Nice.

RantingDragon Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson Just so I understand it right: only dialogue? So not: "Blah blah," said Brandon, eying the huge Trolloc. Only the blah?

MaryRobinette Tue Dec 14Hey! @scalzi just promised all Campbell winners cookies on his podcast. Chocolate chip, please.

1stRainbowRose Tue Dec 14@brandonsandrson Just to check, who are you wanting to do this with? Just anyone or someone specific?

pale_blue_sky Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson Silly question, but how many words do 5 pages generally equate to?

YetiStomper Tue Dec 14@BrandonSandrson I'm not sure what that is an example of but I look forward to reading the rest of that. @JRVogt
