It was fun writing dialogues, especially when I was allowed to take snapshots of my phone conversation. The knowledge of having a face to my characters enable to create fun plays. It was also easier to create fiction with the snapshots to bring the story alive. Writing Dialogue is the most fun I have had in this class. The most challenging part of writing dialogues is to create a stage scene because most of this conversation took place on a train ride home or sitting somewhere and using it as a dialogue where the characters play the part. This took a great deal of creativity to implement movement in a stagnant conversation and create a play/dialogue where it become alive. The part that was so-so is that most of my phone conversation is brief, very direct, and non-dramatic, therefore, I lacked content to snapshot and later turned into dialogues. The bad part of writing a dialogue is that sometime the voice and word choice to match each character do not come easy, as a result, it took the fun of writing dialogues down a notch.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
