« on: October 02, 2008, 07:26:30 AM »

Writing Prompt: Take and old piece of writing you’ve done, pick a dialogue scene, and take it up a notch.
Or my summary:
Brandon: take an old piece of writing, one that you've been working on in the last year, and take a dialogue scene. Then take each line of dialogue up by half a notch -- make it a little more unexpected, evoke a little more of the character -- but it should mean the same thing.
Howard: crank it all up, but have the dialogue end up in the same place as before.
