Re: Writing question

Well, for starters you could read decent quality stories and pay attention to how it's done, as opposed to reading it for pleasure. Good dialogue just flows along and you hardly notice the mechanics of it because you're caught up in the story. But you can always slow down, reread and pay attention to ONLY the mechanics. It's a big switch in one's mindset, but really helpful because you're looking at how the fic is constructed.

I don't think recording real life conversations will be of much help because in fiction, dialogue has to serve a purpose. You don't have paragraphs of pointless chit chat in fiction, because that's dull as dishwaster and your audience will be bored. Written dialogue needs to move the story forward, either by aiding in plot development or characterization.
