DIALOG

The creation of dialog, the words one character speaks to another, is my favorite aspect of writing. My writings often begin with snippets of dialog. Partial conversations voiced by entities that have only the semblance of form and personality. Yet the more they speak, the more they are defined, and in their definition lives the conflict and comfort of the story.

My non-fiction writings do not contain dialog and are therefore not as much fun to write. Pray do not tell them I ever said such a thing, for they can be petty and spiteful.
