Off Topic Fish Bobber

[Red top reader]

Here is something to try that I did with a writing course. Organise a vid call catchup with two old mates, and tell them you will record the call. Have a beer or two, relax and have a good chat.

Leave it 24 hours, then go back and try to write down some parts of the conversation.

When you are done, watch the video again and write down the same parts word for word.

Compare the two. You aren't looking for exact word matches, but trying to get the hang of natural flow of conversation, who is leading the topic, how do people respond and how does the lead flip to someone else.

That’s really good advice E but I’ll be honest it’s the actual page set up
of the words on paper, The he said, she said. I don’t have a problem with
creating the scene but as soon as a conversation is being held I am stumped.
I did not attend school much, I was there but was either in the heads office
or stood outside the classroom. I disrupted almost every class I attended.
I’ve only recently found out I have a form of dyslexia, it was never picked
up at school. Almost everything I’ve learned I taught myself with the aid
of spellcheck lol.
