Out of the office today, everyone. :) Couldn’t leave you totally hanging, though. So here’s a tip you can integrate into your script RIGHT NOW. That’s right, I want you to go write a scene as soon as you’re done reading this.

TIP: One of the easiest ways to write a a good dialogue scene is to give us one character who doesn’t want to talk and one character who does. Resistance creates conflict. Conflict drives dialogue. We saw this to the extreme in yesterday’s review, where the podcaster at the beginning of the movie wants to talk to Michael. But Michael doesn’t want to talk to him. Personally, I think this is more fun if the secondary character does some talking. But go ahead, try it out. You usually get a good scene out of it.
