And I'm with you and Dianne on dialogue.

Is this new? Did I miss the update? I am with you on this, Kyle!<br /><br />It is definitely true that dialogue needs to move the story or screenplay forward, but I would advise that writers not worry too much about that in the first draft. Sometimes you have to wander and explore. It is in the revisions and editing that I usually start noticing whole sections of dialogue that don't need to be there. "Oh, this can come out -- and this can come out --" It makes for some happy dancing when you are trying to reduce word count!<br /><br />Not that you should bloat your dialogue on purpose just so you have something to cut later, but (just like in real life) I find that you sometimes have to blab uselessly for a bit before making your point.
