Episode 058 of Writing Advice with JJ Barnes and Jonathan McKinney where we give you writing advice, tips and hacks for writing a book, a film, or a TV show.
Today we talk about writing natural dialogue, how written speech isn't the same as spoken speech and it would be a mistake to try and force it to, and how speech in books and dramas has a certain rhythm and structure that you don't find in natural conversation.
Writing Advice with JJ and Jonathan brings you free writing advice every day, focusing on one writing technique or piece of advice for becoming a better and more confident writer each video.
Our first series of videos, Writing, Talking, And Dog Walking, is still there and this is a continuation, following the change in weather making filming outdoors too hard!
You can find more on [ Ссылка ] where there’s links to books, scripts, podcasts, and more. Also come find us on social media, let us know if you’re looking for a certain writing tip or want us to talk about a specific story.
