Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Minimum Words, Maximum Impact
The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Minimum Words, Maximum Impact.
They say, “Less is more.” That’s no more true sometimes than in a screenplay. This week, let’s explore sides of dialogue in which a lot of meaning and import get conveyed in just a few or even one word.
The usual drill:
* Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.
* Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.
I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to lay that wisdom on us.
Our upcoming schedule of Daily Dialogue topics:
September 21-September 27: Depression
September 28-October 4: Opening Line
October 5-October 11: Rivalry
October 12-October 18: Cross Dressing
October 19-October 25: Selflessness
October 26-November 1: Embarrassment
