Dialogue is fucking hard to write, man

Huh. I just don't see it. Narrative and action are way harder than two people talking, which pretty much everybody does every day.

If someone recorded my daily conversations, they'd probably be quite boring to read. The challenge of dialogue is to write something that feels real, while still being punched up and entertaining.

Sure but dialogue in someone else's voice us a lot different than in your own

I used to feel like this. Nowadays when I write, the dialogue comes a lot easier to me and the actions are harder to express.
