Dialog is really hard to write. These are the things I've been learning in my writing for the media class. It's really embarrassing and just plain difficult to write realistic dialog and then have to perform it for people. Though it's probably a good thing that we have to work on it because it seems like a difficult task to grasp. Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Sticking to the guidelines can only help here; use contractions, avoid stereotypes, and never use slang. All dialog should produce an introduction, contain an exchange of information, show a moment of realization, and follow with a conclusion. DIALOG!!!
