What is an example conversation between the receiver and the caller of the telephone conversation?

Answer 1

"so i heard you didn't go lastnight?"

"i was just too scared. how do you go to church with killing someone on your mind?"

"just eat a tictac, you'll be fine," *cough* "it happens to me all the time and i still go but only with my tictacs."

The above would be fine ... except the person has not utilized proper English punctuation or grammar. Therefore, I'd ignore it if I were you.

Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.

When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

Surely you have talked on the telephone! What sorts of things do you say, and what does the other person say back to you? For example, in some countries it's polite to identify yourself immediately, while in other countries you just say "hello."
