During dialogue in your story, is everything the characters saying to each other part of furthering the plot or revealing their characteristics? Is there ever just loose conversations to the side? If someone points out a conversation between your characters as unrelated to anything, how do you respond? 170Please respect copyright.PENANAenWunPX69s
Personally, I feel that there should at least be one conversation in the story between two or more characters that doesn't relate to anything and is just them either being silly or reminiscing on past events. While it may not serve any purpose, to me it's just a small resting point in the story, especially if things are dramatic, where the audience can have either a few light-hearted moments or stroll down memory lane with the characters and experience unique character dynamics.170Please respect copyright.PENANAXLtDtVzMth
I just feel that attempting to make the audience fall in love with your characters, makes a better story overall. Shoot me if I'm wrong. 170Please respect copyright.PENANA8pAKPKmTFD
