How do you guys go about creating dialogue and conversations in your written pieces? Do you have any exercises, techniques or methods you use for this?
I'm just wondering because I was in a workshop today, and we had a fun little exercise where we partnered up with someone to do a call-and-response way of dialogue to create a little scene. I was with a Solomon Islander who can't speak/write grammatically correct English very well, but he writes interesting pieces. Together we made this little humorous dialogue:
"I wish you'd told me."
>"If only you can it a secret."
"It's a pretty big secret though, what if someone finds out?"
>"What exactly you wish I should tell you. I have lots of things to say, no secrets am just joking."
"Joking? So the Donkey hiding in your Dining Room is a joke?"
>Yeah it's a joke, want to hear more jokes?"
"You know what? Sure"
>Okay, here another one, how can you put an elephant into the fridge?"
"How?"
>"Just open the fridge and put the elephant in."
"My friend, that was splendid."
